Overview
Hand-woven wool wall textile produced in Finland in the 1970s. Narrow vertical format suitable for wall display or as a decorative hanging.
The composition is organized along a central vertical axis. A sequence of geometric elements forms a structured abstract figure built from grids, diamonds, circles and linear bands. The palette is reduced to two strong tones - red and black - creating a clear graphic contrast.
The textile is double-sided, with the colors reversed on the opposite side.
