A beautiful tribal flat-weave from Southwestern Turkey, woven in the intricate "jijim" brocading technique. The design featuring large squares containing stars is characteristic of this type, but it is executed in very fine detail, with brilliant colors. This is one of the nicest examples we have seen in a long time.
