Natural corrosion to dark browns with some foundation exposed in places. Minor repair in lower left corner that is fairly well done. Both ends very slightly partial and should be stabilized. Minor repiling to the ends. Selvage is overcast in places. Would benefit greatly from a professional cleaning. A beautiful green is used and the quality of the wool is superior. A collectible piece.
