"Tribal Traditions: Village and Nomadic Weaving of Anatolia"
2000-08-25 until 2001-01-28
Textile Museum
Washington, DC,
USA
Flatwoven rugs, grain and saddlebags are decorated with bold
patterns and designs that identify their makers. While the
names of many of these tribes have been lost, this strong design
tradition remains throughout Anatolia (modern Turkey) and ties
these beautiful weavings to the regions where nomadic
ancestors settled.
Created for the utilitarian purposes of
transporting goods and covering the ground, Tribal
Traditions will feature more than 20 flatwoven rugs and bags
from The Textile Museum's collection. Four of the major
regions of Anatolia (Bergama, Konya, Malatya and Erzerum)
and their classic designs will be explored.
