Kilim
Generically, are pileless, flat rug woven in a tapestry technique whether or not the color pattern joins are left open, or the slits are closed by interlocking or warp sharing. The technique is used all over the “rug belt” for quickly made simply patterned, inexpensive pieces. (Senha Kilims are the exception.) Kilims are made everywhere Turkey, the Caucasus, Iran, Afghanistan. The India dhurrie is a form of kilim and in the new world Navajo and Rio Grande blankets and rugs are also kilims. Designs are structurally determined and hence usually geometric, excepting the more delicate and curvilinear senha kilims. Besides use as floor coverings, kilims may be used for saddle bags and decorative hangings (pardeh), among other native uses.
