About the Item

The Tulu rugs represent one of the earliest forms of nomadic pile weaving, typically knotted with a medium-high pile as they were meant as bedding rugs for the tent. Woven in the Karapinar area in central Anatolia, these are distinguished by the use of fine mohair wool, often undyed like in this case. The patterns are typically quite simple, ranging from completely open fields to stacked niches, with basic geometric patterns like chequerboards constituting some interesting variants.
