These beautiful kilims were made by young nomadic woman in the village of Cal outside Denizli in Western Turkey. They are known for their bold geometric designs and pastel tones as well as their reasonable prices. ‘Yoruks ‘or nomads and willage women predominately wove kilims and textured ‘cicim' kilims for their every day use in tents, or as bags for transport as well as for a young woman's marriage dowry. The symbols used on all kilims have special meanings and can reflect the weavers desire for protection, abundance, happiness, fertility, etc. They are generally excellent quality and long lasting. A kilim this size would take 1-2 months to weave.
