I am not looking to buy or sell. I am reviewing this rug to place it in context and to use it as a teaching aid.

How to navigate SpongoBongo and find anything. The problem is that this site mirrors my thought process and it is hard to find things. The secret is that it is intended to be navigated from Google. But if you want another way try my sitesearch. Also try Oriental Rugs and Carpets Site Map.
