Note: The birds woven in the central lower portion of the carpet were probably woven in a very similar creme color as the background. Over time due to wear and fading, the birds are difiicult to see unless one looks very closely, however the red used in weaving the eyes and beaks is still vibrant and helps to bring out the faded silhouettes.
