The present lot would have been used either as a hanging or a floor covering in a nomad's tent in Anatolia. Known locally as a jajim, it consists of three strips stitched at the selvedge with designs neatly aligning at the seams. Each strip is elaborately embellished, with a central row of diamond-shaped lozenges within a wave-like pattern most probably symbolic of water.
