Please note: as this rug is entirely hand knotted with wool colored by natural vegetable dyes, slight variations in knot density, pattern alignment, color saturation, and dimensions are natural and reflect the authentic handmade process. Colors may also appear slightly different in person than in photos due to lighting, screen settings, and the organic depth of natural dyes. These small irregularities are not flaws but signatures of true artisan craftsmanship.
