Perdehs were used as tent dividers by the Kurdish tribes of Eastern Anatolia. Each flat-woven wool panel is individually dip-dyed and subsequently hand-stitched to the other panels. The nature of dip-dyeing confers a painterly effect, as if each panel had been coloured with brushstrokes. The resulting combination of contrasting colors is another example of the modernity of tribal textile art.
