A hand-woven kilim in the Qashqai manner, made in 100% hand-spun wool. A long stepped medallion fills the cerise-red field, worked as a lattice of small compartments each holding a cross or star in navy, sky blue, green, ivory, coral and grey — no two neighbouring compartments coloured alike.
Wide borders of yellow, green and cerise carry zigzags, chevrons and running ribbon devices, with a striped panel at one end. This is slit-tapestry kilim: the pattern is woven into the cloth itself, so the surface is smooth and the rug is fully reversible. A one-of-a-kind piece.
