AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A high-quality cicim from Kula. This type of cicims was intended as a gift at the birth of a baby (bebekli). Hence the high quality of the fabric, the wool used, and natural wolver dye. Various shades of red in the central field catch the eye of the cicim. The flowers spread across the cicim are kliskruid, a symbol of fertility (yield of land and livestock). At the top and bottom edges are taraks (crests) depicted, the symbol par excellence for protecting the child and the family. The horizontal s in the yellow borders is protection against the evil eye (gossip and malice). As a gift, the cloth is always kept in the chest. Hence its pristine condition.
