This antique little Kurdish kilim when I bought it was folded over and had a tiny kilim strap to keep it together. Since the strap was damaged, we opened it to make a cute little kilim. All the dyes are natural and is finely woven.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 45×31 cms
Origin: Kurdish tribe, Bidjar area, Iran
Date of weaving: 1900
Kurds or Kurdish people are an Iranian ethnic group native to a mountainous region of Western Asia known as Kurdistan, which spans southeastern Turkey, northwestern Iran, northern Iraq, and northern Syria. There are exclaves of Kurds in Central Anatolia, Khorasan, and the Caucasus, as well as significant Kurdish diaspora communities in the cities of western Turkey (in particular Istanbul) and Western Europe (primarily in Germany). The Kurdish population is estimated to be between 30 and 45 million.
