DescriptionA large central rectangle has a background color of bright red-orange. A line of central orange diamond shapes that have tan hourglass shapes in them bisects the large rectangle. They are outlined in black serration that has a white edge. The next line that appears is a group of black grey hourglass figures that are edged with smaller triangles. Black diamond shapes with red hourglass figures in them appear next. A tan band with grey and red arrows that point toward the center of the weaving frames the large central rectangle. More arrow shapes in various colors appear in the border of the weaving.ProvenanceSusan De Jong, Santa Fe, NM;
