Brocaded flat weaves from Antep (former Gaziantep) in sumak technique. Two panels sewn together, thick and heavy big sized kilim. This is a nomadic kilim, who has been elaborately embroidered with subtle patterns to demonstrate the weaver's tribal affiliation, a great amount of work has been done here. This is a rare piece.
