The rug depicts a large, black shark-like fish. The fish has jagged pink teeth, blue-green eyes and a pink and coral body markings. Three wavy blue stripes cross the fish's body, like water washing over the form. A narrow red-violet line outlines the fish. The fish appears to be swimming through churning green water, represented by interlocking forms with jagged edges in two shades of green outlined with a narrow black line. A three inch border in dark green outlines the entire rug. The choice of colors creates a lively vibrating effect. - per Sue Baizerman.
