Tribal Symbolism Woven in Ikat Technique

This early 20th-century Indonesian Ikat kilim exemplifies artisanal storytelling through textile craft. Hand-tied dyed threads define stylized ancestor figures, horses, and symbolic bands—each telling a narrative preserved through woven form. The techniques and imagery evoke heritage spirit and the natural dye tradition.

Flat-Woven Wool with Earthy Tones

Crafted from wool, this kilim uses flat weaving to showcase earthy hues of beige, brown, and cream. The tonal range is harmonious and organic, creating a visual rhythm that feels both timeless and grounded. The surface is soft yet durable, suitable for subtle layering or floor placement.

Collector’s Format, Layered Expression

With dimensions of approximately 3'8" × 8'3" (111 cm × 252 cm) this kilim’s elongated format makes it versatile. It serves as a striking bed or sofa runner or a compelling piece of wall art in contemporary or traditional interiors.

Authentic Heritage with Gentle Wear

The rug remains in good condition with light, even signs of age. The dyes and wool show a soft patina that enhances depth without obscuring the rich motif. The flat-weave foundation is tight, and the design retains clarity—ideal for both display and use.
