Hand-Knotted Cotton Mat from Germany
A small hand-knotted mat made of cotton pile yarn on a cotton foundation, functioning as a textile floor covering. Despite knotting, it falls under HTS 5705.00.20.20 as 'other' cotton carpets if not fitting 5701 knotted criteria by scale or type. Exposed cotton pile surface confirms chapter placement.
