Woven by the Kurdish people inhabiting the region between eastern Anatolia and the southern Caucasus, this sturdily woven small sized kilim was possibly a sofreh, which means that it was used as a presentation textile onto which they would offer food to their guests in the tent. The large scale, eye-dazzler pattern employed however takes it into the realm of modern and minimalist design and it is yet another example of the ancient modernity of tribal textile art.
