"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.
