11173 Vintage Turkish Mut Zilli Kilim Rug 84x125cm (2.9 x 4.1ft)

Turkish Kilim Rug handwoven in the Mut region of Southern Turkey (they are also known as Kelims). This traditional kilim is woven using zili flat weave kilim technique - this is a very unusual piece - in a prayer rug design, we love the geometric prayer niche plus the beautiful tassels - would look fabulous on the floor or used as a wall hanging. This rug measures approximately 84x125cm (2.9 x 4.1ft) excluding tassels.

These flat woven rugs were originally made by the migratory Taurus Yoruks who were of Central Asian Turkic origin. Today the Yoruks lead a semi-nomadic way of life in the southern Taurus mountain region of Anatolia, moving between summer and winter pastures where they set up their encampments (Yayla).  Mut Kilims are not generally woven for export but are woven for the own use of the weaver. See more about Rug Motifs, Symbols & Meaning here.
