The poster consists of a drawing of a Navajo woman standing in front of a rug with two sheep seated at her feet. Below this drawing is a caption in black text that explains the mathematics used in rug design by the Navajo women in their weaving. The poster has a border of geometric design, similar to that in the rug, in grey, dark red, black, and white. The poster was produced by Lawrence W. Swienciki Educational Materials. The front of the board is covered in clear plastic which is taped at the back. This display board was created and used by Carlton A.
