Tribal nomadic cicim
Age: 40-50 years, vintage
Location: Konya Turkey
Size: 136 x 90
This is a beautiful nomadic vintage textile that can be used as a wall hanging or on a floor. It has a beautiful subtlety with random colour and design changes that are typical of nomadic weavings. The Turkish Taurus yoruks lead a semi nomadic life, so their weavings are strong both in design and substance. Kilims continue to be woven in this area today however, mainly for use in the weavers homes. The bold serrated diamond shaped medallions found in Mut kilims use contrasting colours such as dark brown, white and red, and a little blue and yellow, are used to full effect, highlighting the prominent design elements.
