This brightly coloured bagface captures a section of a diamond-lattice repeat within its white ground border decorated with starlike motifs in alternating (except in one instance) red and blue. It has a sense of dynamism and movement created by choosing a vertically off-centre section of the diamond-lattice. More pics on our website.
