Predominantly red, white and blue, with a few hints of pink, brown and green
Rare and large marriage kilim from South West Anatolia, with a typical design:
a large plain central field
in red color,
here with an embroidered diamond,
decorated at each end with much more ornated panels. This kilim was woven by nomad/rural folks in the Fethiye region
and
were used to carry the bride's dowry gifts in the wedding procession on a camel or horse from her village to that of the groom.
