A truly spectacular runner distinguished by a plethora of colours arranged as horizontal stripes. Tulu rugs represent one of the earliest forms of nomadic pile weaving, typically knotted with a medium-high pile as they were meant as bedding rugs for the tent. Woven in the Karapinar area in central Anatolia, these are distinguished by fine mohair wool. The patterns are typically quite simple, ranging from open fields to stacked niches, with basic geometric patterns such as the one here representing some interesting variants.
