152cm x 103cm Orange & Pink Turkoman Kilim

152cm x 103cm Orange & Pink Turkoman Kilim

Turkoman (also Turkmen) kilims are made by the nomadic Turkoman people, these are specifically made by the Olam people in Northern Afghanistan. They can also be found in North East Iran and Turkmenistan of course. 

They are very strong and thicker than the Maymana kilims, with a raised profile, but unlike Maymana kilims are one sided due to the more dense nature of the weave (see photos).

This 152cm x 103cm Turkoman Kilim features a striking geometric design crafted by hand from 100% sheep wool. Dyed with natural vegetable colours in vibrant shades of orange, rose pink, blue, green, and gold, it represents traditional craftsmanship under fairtrade principles. 

Any creases will drop out within a week or so.
