A very nice example of Western Anatolian weaving by tribal groups settled in the Manisa - Bergama region, attributed to the summer pastures of Yuntdag. This is one of the typical designs of the region featuring the prominent cloudband border. A rug of this size would have been the largest piece in the weaver's household.
