There are intermittent small reweaves to the outer guard stripes on each side, of which the largest measures 20 x 7cm., with some only a few centimeters in size. There is a light colour run which has affected the raspberry-red dye used mainly for outlines in the field and minor stripe. The blue outer stripe at the lower end has been rewoven, with some small stepped sections reaching into the yellow guard stripe. The last 13cm at the upper end of the carpet have been rewoven, including the yellow and green guard stripes, with some narrow stepped areas and additional reweaves in the red main border.
