About the Item
This archaic looking niche design rug is distinguished by the extra weft loop pile technique, which is one of the earliest forms of weaving that preceded the creation of the pile rug. The dark brown wool defines the direction of weaving as well as the niche itself, reduced here to its basic elements. Its simplification is reminiscent of the elibelinde motif as it appears on central Anatolian kilims, and is of clear Neolithic memory. The use of metallic thread adds a touch of preciousness to the composition, placed as a round motif at the heart of the niche, probably as a protective amulet.

The primitive nature of the drawing imparts here a cave-like appearance to the niche. The use of silky Angora mohair wool (filik in Turkish) is characteristic of the most precious Tulus.

Knot count: 4H x 3V = 12 knots/square inch
