This fine flatweave is crafted using the traditional Sumak technique, where coloured wool and silk yarns are wrapped around cotton warps, secured by a plain weft after each row. Sumak technique allows for more intricate designs compared to typical warp-faced kilims, and results in a firmer, one-sided textile due to the loose yarn ends on the back.
This particular piece is the spontaneous creation of a young weaver, made entirely from memory without a drafted naqsha. Rooted in tribal life, its motifs reflect inherited traditions, natural surroundings, and the weaver’s personal expression, translating lived experience into pattern and rhythm.
Wool and silk on cotton, handwoven using the Sumak technique.
