$ on request Sold
An old tribal rug woven by one of the Herki Kurdish groups in the mountainous border region between Turkey, Iran and Iraq. Incredibly soft and glossy wool is typical of this region. The design is very simple, almost archaic, the colors bright and lively. Note the beautifully braided fringes. A very charming, authentic example of weaving traditions of the Kurdish tribes. In excellent state of preservation.
