This chuval was made in the Kahraman Maras area of southeastern Turkey ca 1910. It is 100% wool, it measures 2’ 2” X 3’ 2” and it is in very good condition. A total of ten hexagon medallions are displayed in two vertical rows. A narrow band of red plain weave between the rows and a guard band with a “twisted rope” design on each side of the main field separates it from the undecorated plain weave body. The sides and back of the bag are done in vertical bands of plain blue, red, and green. The weaver had access to an extensive palette and used red, indigo, light blue, yellow, green, black, gray, and white for her main design. She also used metallic yarn sparingly to add sparkling highlights throughout the design. There might be some color fading, but if so, it’s slight. All reasonable offers wll be considered.
