The Household Gravel

ALSO KNOWN AS

Leopard Skin

The motifs in this pattern are associated with the gravel around a house as well as the texture of a panther’s skin, hence the names ‘The Household Gravel’ and “Peau de Léopard”. The gravel also refers to the immediate family − ‘It’s sometimes sharp and can cut you deeply’ − that is, your immediate family can give you the most pain.
