JBOC Notes:
Catalog Discription:
Title Anatolian Yastik
Central Anatolia
Size 2'9" x 2'
Date 1850 or earlier
Cat. No. 253
Description This yastik displays palette and design features (paired
flowers and rosettes in the main border) that suggest a possible
central Anatolian attribution. Yet, a
field design of multiple stacked and hooked medallions hint at a more
easterly venue, possibly the Sivas region.
Design motifs, both primary and secondary, are simple and well drawn.
The dyes are from natural sources and are extraordinary in their depth.
These include a strong reddish-orange and rich blue-green.
Condition: Very good. There is pile loss at both ends, mostly the
bottom as shown in a detail view. When acquired, there was considerable
oxidation of the brown and three holes in the lower one-third of the
piece. These problems were addressed with high quality repairs made in
Istanbul. The entire piece now has full pile in soft, lustrous wool.
Structure Warps: Wool, Ivory.
Two strands, Z-spun, S-plied.
Wefts: Wool. Light orange. Two -three shoots.
Knots: Symmetrical, one level.
Sides: Two warps bundled and overcast.
Ends: Reduced.
