This is a beautiful nomadic vintage kilim which has a beautiful subtlety and with random colour and design changes that are typical of nomadic weavings. The Turkish Taurus yoruks lead a semi-nomadic life; consequently, their weavings are strong both in design and substance. Kilims continue to be woven in this area today; however, primarily for use in the weavers' homes. The bold serrated diamond shaped medallions found in Mut kilims use contrasting colours such as dark brown, white and red, and a little blue and yellow, which are used to full effect, highlighting the prominent design elements. Older kilims generally have a more mellow colour palette of red, pink, brown, blue and yellow.
The Yoruks of Mut not only produce kilims, but large numbers of cicims - a warp wrapping technique that gives a textured look to he weaving. (Those with asymmetric designs are used as a tent door cover),as well as grain sacks (chuval), cushions (yastiks), and wildly decorated donkey bags
