This rectangular hooked rug is decorated with rows of repeating multi-colored scallops along each edge, oriented with the curves facing the center longitude of the rug. A series of multi-colored diamonds runs the center length of the rug where the two scallop rows meet. Each scallop is outlined in dark green. This pattern is also called "lambstongue."
