Condition
Very good overall condition.
A few very slight traces of dirt on the upper part along the edge and to the corners. Two nods at the bottom edge have some longer threads that apprear slightly longer than the edge; otherwise seems like almost never used. The red and blue area are composed of thicker wool threads and are more in-relief than the black parts and of the beige background.
