About the Item

A highly graphic vintage tribal rug, distinguished by red field embellished by a blue central device with a zig-zag profile. Rugs of this type are representative of a woven minimalism which is at the heart of the history of the hand-knotted pile rug since prehistoric times. Since the 'fibre revolution', which began in the Near East with the domestication of sheep at around the fourth millennium BCE, tribal textile art of different cultures has developed from the very essentials of geometric abstraction. This economy of means has continued to define the aesthetic of tribal rugs, particularly among the central Anatolian people responsible for the weaving of traditional Tulu rugs.
