With the format of a yastik and the general size and orientation of a prayer rug, this East Anatolian Kurd weaving seems to be something else. There are ewers drawn towards the bottom but they are woven upside-down and not reciprocated at the top. Nice 'elibelinde' elements are woven in the medallion. Colors are vibrant, varied and gorgeous and the wool is soft and superb. I'm guessing this piece was woven either in the area of Gazientep or Malatya and seems to have very good age. It has the qualities of an older weaving and has seen better days. The sides are missing and it has been conserved and mounted. Measuring 5'1"x2'6" / 155x76cm
