A large tribal kilim from the vicinity of Bidjar in Persian Kurdistan, woven in two symmetrical halves and joined with a seam in the the middle - a simple old weaving with great modern/minimalist appeal.
Such kilims are referred to as "ru-korsi", a cover for the "korsi", a low table with a charcoal brazier underneath providing heat, a traditional item of furniture around which the family or guests gather for meals and conversation.
