Small Antique Anatolian Kilims |
|
From the collection of MARLA MALLETT: TEXTILES |
| Here, we show small-sized flatwoven rugs made by Turkish, Yoruk, and Kurdish nomads in Anatolia. Some of these have mihrabs, and are often called "namazlik," meaning for prayer. Rather than being used on the ground, they were often hung in village houses on the wall indicating the direction of Mecca, simulating the mihrab in a mosque kebla wall. These ethnographic antique Oriental tribal rugs are tapestry-woven, brocaded or combine techniques. To see complete views and larger details of these Anatolian kilims, click on the inventory numbers. Check out our Tribal Textiles and HOME pages for other gallery offerings. Then take a look at More Early Kilims where you will find a discussion of restoration and conservation issues.
