Central Anatolian eli-belinde type kilim, 155 x 371cm, circa 1800. Some damage and loses as can be seen in the images. This kilim is exceptional for several reasons:1. Most eli-belinde type kilims have side borders with motifs that differ from the main eli-belind motifs of the field; borderless examples are rare, and for me tend to be visualy more effective ( see p. 83 Wolff-Diepenbrock collection ). In my kilim, it appears that the weaver began to introduce non field type motifs along one side to approximate a border but did not continue this for the full lenght of the side;the other side has no border like motifs. the colors of the individual eli-belinde motifs are not ordered into diagonal,horizontal, or vertical rows, as is typical, but are randonly colored with respect to one another. This produces the effect of a kalaidascopic play of colors as the primary visual impression, rather than of decrete motif forms. 3. The number of colors is atypically large.
