Small and nearly square in format, this flatweave represents a particular and highly memorable type which is well-documented in a number of examples published in specialist literature. The design in subdued colours has been embroidered in the brocading technique onto an ivory plainweave foundation. Five flat stepped arches run horizontally across the entire width of the field, embedded into a basic design of tiny S-forms. The composition is strictly symmetrical, and the stepped arches add an ascending movement to the design. Each arch supports three trees stylised to Y-forms. The cypress trees seen in other examples of the group do not occur in a 19. The two comparatively wide additional design stripes (elems) constitute a further difference; they display a serrated band with suspended amulets which are absent in comparative pieces. This leads us to assume that a 19 was woven in a different Yerli village from the kilims cited below, which are probably all from Keçimuhsine Good condition, patinated with age Size 112 x 142 cm
