Pile made of very tightly spun fine Z single dark variegated (natural?) brown wool is worked into the structure, retaining a wiry or shaggy appearance. Thumbs on side. Rounded shape with short cuff. Rows of red-orange, dark brown and light rust form a border around the edge; no other decoration. 11 1/2” long.
