This type of long and narrow kilim was doubled lenghwise, stuffed with straw and tied round the neck of the mule. Sometimes in Iran we buy this type of kilim already stiched and with the straw, but this one was already opened out when we purchased it. All natural dyes and in good condition. a nice kilim for those interested in ethnographic pieces. 149x23 cms 1950s.
