This fabulous rug was woven in Afyon province in the inland Aegean region of Anatolia on a vertical loom. The warp and weft are made of handspun hemp yarn, and the weft float motifs are woven with handspun dyed wool  yarn. The ends are rolled and stitched to prevent raveling.

The pure hemp foundation makes a vast field for the contrasting green, orange and black nested diamond motifs with tails arranged in orderly rows and are characteristic of this region. Blended red wool and natural hemp yarn form subtle bands across one end. Expansive design perfect for a large space.
