In kilims, which are a type of tapestry weave, vertical color changes are made by wrapping the yarns around adjacent warps (rather than interlocking around a single warp). This results in distinctive slits between the changing colors. This is not the only defining feature of kilims (and not exclusive to kilims) - design elements and yarn types being other factors.</p><p><br /></p><p>While your piece does include a few slits at color changes, the artist seems to have deliberately avoided vertical color changes, favoring stepped design elements. You may be right that it is an abstracted face, which would not be typical of traditional kilims from the Middle East, where geometric designs are most common.</p><p><br /></p><p>I still think your piece is simply an individual artist&#039;s work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
