The rim is plain wrapped; with the rim coil ending missing, there are about six stitches missing. The rim is glued in several places, as well as deliberately cut. The weft fag ends are primarily clipped, with some concealed; the weft moving ends are concealed. 30% of the wefts are split on the interior, less than 20% are split on the exterior.
