Summary
A carpet made for a doll's house. Green base colour with large leaf and 'branch' design picked out in dark green and highlighted with red, orange, yellow and cream. Dark green geometric-patterned free hand shapes fill in areas between leaf patterns. Most of the edges are stitched with dark green thread. Two edges have quite large 'nicks' taken out, probably to fit around internal fixtures in the doll's house.
