Extremely Fine Antique Silk and Wool Kilim with Anthropomorphic Figures
About the Item
An extremely fine pillow case from the Gafsa region in central Tunisia, exquisitely woven in wool with silk details, decorated by geometric motifs arranged along horizontal compartments. The lower skirt boasts a stunning array of six female figures representing Berber women, the stars of our exhibition. The fact that they are depicted with hands on their hips - just like the elibelinde motif frequently seen on Anatolian kilims - speaks of the universal language at the basis of antique tribal textile art. The outstanding quality of the weave testifies to the immense skill of Berber weavers.
This textile is part of our current online exhibition entitled 'Mixed Media - Woven Abstractions of the Berber Women'.
