Summary
A carpet for a doll's house. It has a brown base colour with a large leaf design picked out in dark brown and a mixture of green and red or orange and yellow highlighting the leaves. There are also 'branches' picked out in dark brown and dark brown geometric-patterned splodges filling in gaps between leaves and branches. Three edges are stitched in green thread to prevent fraying, and one corner has a small square nick taken out, possibly to fit around an internal fixture in the doll's house.
