Yörük - Like the comparative example in the Sivas museum (described as "Erzincan"),
this piece has a field divided into three box-shaped sections, each
containing a large cross design. Finely woven, with a high pile of glossy
wool and brilliant colours, this rug is a typical example of nomad weavings
from East Anatolia. It may be the product of a Kurdish tribal group. In good
overall condition, the original selvedges have been repaired in places,
slight signs of wear in the pile and small repiled areas.
