Vintage Anatolian Pictorial Runner

The rust field of this naïve village runner (kenare) shows a pattern of equestrians and double standing ladies, repeated vertically, in a Naïve, charming form. Here the weaver has boiled down the pattern to the essentials with doll-like figures. Instead of the riders galloping onward, they have stopped and pose on their light horses. Tapestry woven (kilim) triangle mosaic end panels. Coarse woven, wool foundation.
