Distinguished by a squarish format typical of yatak (bedding) rugs, this Tulu has a soft creamy yellow background randomly punctuated by small dots and by a larger one indicating the center. Rugs of this type were used by the nomads of central Anatolia and represent one of the earliest manifestations of tribal pile weaving.
