MARLA MALLETT: TEXTILES


Dirican Namazlik Kilim
Malatya, Eastern Anatolia
19th century
Wool, cotton and metallic
29½"x 57"
Slit tapestry.  This is a very finely woven, thin, Kurdish prayer kilim that is in excellent condition.  It is appropriate for the wall, rather than the floor; indeed this was undoubtedly its original use.  The whites are cotton, and small delicate accents of metallic threads appear in the center panel. The colors are typical of the Dirican village area......$1850
