A hand-woven kilim from Afghanistan, made in 100% hand-spun wool. The golden-camel field is filled corner to corner with a diamond lattice, each compartment holding its own small motif — stars, crosses, hooks and tiny rosettes — in gold, rose, terracotta and cream, worked in soumak embroidery that stands slightly proud of the flat-woven ground.
Rather than one wide border the field is framed by more than a dozen narrow bands of zigzag, diamond and chevron repeats, each different from its neighbours. Being a flatweave it is thin, light and reversible. A one-of-a-kind piece.
