A pair of tribal storage bags, or "çuval" in Turkish, opened up and joined side-by-side to be used as a floor rug. On each bag, the decorated part would have been the front and the plain part, the back of the bag. Lovely color palette.

Very well preserved, sturdy and clean

The pair can be separated and used as two small runners
