Description

Runner. Black rectangular textile piece with a symmetric, geometric design done in brightly colored threads. The threads are white, pink, orange, blue, and yellow, and give it an almost neon effect against the black cloth. The black cloth is medium to heavy weight, has been woven on a loom, and has a seam down its center where two pieces were hand sewn together. On the back, the two ends of one half of the runner have been folded and hemmed, as if to match the other half's length.
