11' x 17'2" (335cm x 523cm) Turkey, Southeast Anatolia: Mid-20th Century Flat-weave (kilim): goat hair
$ on request
A very large tribal flat-weave from Southeastern Turkey, woven with goat hair in natural tones of dark brown and ivory, in addition to orange, pink and blue. A kilim like this would have been used as a utilitarian, everyday floor cover in the weaver's household. Despite its humble origins, this is a very appealing piece with authentic simplicity.
