Description
Ca. 1800, 138 x 84 cm, East Anatolia
A fragment of an early Malatya kilim. Seeing that remnants of the original side finishes survive on both sides, this is a section of one panel of a kilim originally woven in two panels. The plain red stripe at the lower end suggests that this is the point where the central design section began. Thus the kilim may have been a camel cover; such covers often have an undecorated central section which was placed on the animal's back. In the upper horizontal stripe containing diamonds decorated with hooks, the ground is woven from cotton yarn. - Mounted onto blue fabric. Missing sections along the sides.
