This is a Southern Anatolian Antique Kilim from the Malatya region with a rare and beautiful color composition. It was originally a kilim with two halves, but this is one half. Encountering such a piece is precious.

In Roman times it was important as a garrison town on the eastern frontier, and the settlement came under Ottoman rule in the early fifteenth century. Considering the number of kilims woven in this region there is a surprising lack of diversity in design, especially in the larger kilims; this is possibly a direct result of the Kurdish tribal tradition of weaving only one type of design.
