The textile above shows a variety of eastern influences. Harwood spoke about circles, spirals, and swastikas; which all can be seen in this textile. It's easy to get lost in viewing it as a whole.

There are tiles that have been mirrored, rotated, and manipulated in such a way that the original tile is lost within the design as a whole. In examining closely, you begin to see this circle starting out as some form of flower surrounded by what appears to be leaves which begin to get lost when you continue outward to the next level of the circle with more defined flowers. The circle is clearly seen simply by the shape. Within the circle, the leaves begin a spiraling effect starting from the center moving outward. The color of the faded leaves in the outer circle helps create the form of a swastika. All of this, as discussed by Harwood.
