A hand-woven kilim from Afghanistan, made in 100% hand-spun wool. The tobacco-brown field is filled corner to corner with a diamond lattice, every compartment holding its own small floral device in camel, rose, slate blue, green and ivory, so no part of the ground is left plain.
Rather than one wide border the field is framed by more than a dozen narrow bands, each carrying a different small repeat — zigzags, combs, rosettes and stars — worked in soumak embroidery that stands slightly proud of the flat-woven ground. Being a flatweave it is thin, light and reversible. A one-of-a-kind piece.
