[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 62873, member: 59"]This does not look like your typical Kilim. It's square shape and plain, broad ends before the fringe make me wonder whether this is a subtype of "needlework" flatweave used as a saddle. The colored design looks much more "embroidered" than woven in. True Kilims are "slit woven" - meaning that when the weaver ends of one color to begin another, the ending color is woven back, creating a "slit" between the two colors. See if you can find examples of the type called Jol.[/QUOTE]
