Curator's Notes
- Artisanal and tribal, geometric designs feature angular edges and primitive shapes—like diamonds, squares, lattices, and stylized animals
- Diagonal lines weave and intersect, forming a grid-like pattern
- A geometric, step-like pattern which expresses the primitive, artisanal qualities of weaving from nomadic cultures
- A hexagonal shape (also known as a “lozenge”) represents the female form and fertility
- A simple, but classic design—zig-zag patterns represent water as a vital element in life
Mut is a seaside town in southern Turkey known for its hardy and tribal goat hair based flatweave kilims embroidered in intricate geometric patterns.
Material DetailsGoat hair fibers are longer and firmer than those of sheep’s wool. Typically in kilims, goat hair is woven into a durable flatweave rug, then intricate designs are carefully hand-embroidered using wool yarn.
