≈ 137 × 113 cm
Frame within frame, each one pulling the eye deeper — triangles giving way to hooked forms, hooked forms giving way to a central field where figures stand with arms outstretched, holding the whole composition together.
This kilim is a map of something older than memory.
Handcrafted in Kayseri (Turkey)
Vintage — early 20th century, Anatolian weaving at its most expressive
Naturally dyed in deep indigo blue — a color that has only deepened with time
Warm undyed natural ground — honest and unadorned
Vibrant synthetic dyes in terracotta and sage green — early 20th century Anatolian weaving at its most expressive
One of a kind — never repeated, never mass-produced
Fine, densely woven wool — built to outlast everything
A piece of rare depth, ready to find its next home.
Dominating motif: Elibelinde (Hands on Hips) — a column of anthropomorphic figures runs through the central field, arms outstretched, anchoring the entire concentric composition. One of the most ancient and symbolically charged motifs in Anatolian weaving, associated with fertility, protection and womanhood.
