Handwoven and Embroidered Turkish Konya Tribal Textiles
Item Details
A selection of handwoven and embroidered Turkish Konya textiles. The selection includes two items. The smaller weaving features abstracted tree of life columns in ivory, mocha, and salmon over a teal field. Above and below the field are horizontal panels featuring color blocks or geometric embroidered patterns. The piece finishes with knotted wool warp fringe at top and bottom. At one corner, a tasseled, beaded belt has been attached. The larger piece, which likely once was utilitarian, features two vertical rows of memling medallions, which are bisected by a vertebral central column. The wide-ranging palette of this piece leans toward mauve, rose, ivory, and azure. Tassels and other elements have been attached to the front. The pieces are unlabeled.
