Islamic Art

Beautiful, colorful, and motif-rich kilim. It consists of two vertical sections, which points to its nomadic origin. The textile was offered in the souks of Aleppo (Halep). The border is finished in a specific Kurdish style with goat hair. Goat hair is, after all, stronger than wool and thus provides greater protection against wear. Light wear zones are noticeable in the fabric. An authentic weave that, with the present loops, could be used as a horse blanket.

Mooie kleurrijke en motiefrijke kilim. Hij bestaat uit 2 verticale delen, wat wijst op haar nomadische afkomst. Het weefsel werd aangeboden in de souks van Aleppo (Halep).
De boord is op een specifieke Koerdische manier afgewerkt met geitenhaar. Het geitenhaar is immers sterker dan wol en geeft dus meer bescherming tegen slijtage.
Lichte slijtage zones merkbaar in het weefsel.
Een authentiek weefsel dat door de aanwezige lussen kon gebruikt worden als paardendeken.
