Even in its current fragmentary form, the
scale of the chuval, the size of the primary guls contrasted with
the rather delicate secondary guls, and the rich colors—including
two different insect derived dyes—all combine to clearly convey what
the visual impact of this piece must once have been. The main border
is almost entirely offset knotted, which allowed the weaver to
create consistently crisp diagonals despite the border’s rather
modest size.
