William Stukeley read Avebury's stone avenues as a single serpent winding across the land. One continuous black-and-ivory coil loops through nested, stepped bands, like an ancient diagram underfoot.
Serpent coil: black and ivory, never settling into a fixed shape
Nested stepped bands: on a matte stone-grey ground
Fine detail: each scale individually rendered
Hand-tufted in Jaipur: a faint sheen lifting the raised coils
Best placed: beneath a Georgian cornice or bare concrete, or in a hallway
