Comments On Condition
The long-staple lustrous wool pile is virtually
original, with some very small reweaves. Original
kilim warp finishes and bi-colored selveges.
Full Description
Woven in the Yuruk triangle, near Malatya, this
full-pile rug is rather finely woven, a fact that
makes it very dense and heavy, with a pelt-like
handle; hence its ideal suitability as a
traditional tribal bedcover (yatak).
