A wool pile of symmetric knots on a wool foundation. Village Bidjars are often mistakenly called 'Kurd Bidjars,' although all Bidjars are woven by Kurds. This mellow, rustic village piece features a quasi-Caucasian design with a nested central hexagon, two small attendant squares, and two bold ashik-type finial medallions, all connected by a thick ecru sand vinery. The strip-style beige main border is adorned with eccentrically drawn, reversing turtles. The central axis is implied but distinct.
