This antique kilim is a moj, also called a jajim. It is a type of kilim woven by different tribes, including the Qashqai. Moj were used to cover piles of carpets and kilims in nomadic tents, although today they are used as another kilim on the floor.
Moj are usually thin, but this example is thick and sturdy. The lower decorative band on both sides is common on Qashqai kilims but very rare on moj. Fairly large. In perfect condition, including the original fringes which are intact. All dyes are natural.
