This antique Mooj textile is a rare piece of Kurdish heritage, woven entirely from pure hand-spun wool.
Mooj weaving is one of the oldest Kurdish textile traditions, known for its bold structure and rhythmic stripe patterns that reflect the nomadic life of the Zagros region.

Each Mooj was originally crafted for daily use—blankets, coverings, and ceremonial cloths—yet every thread carries the identity and artistry of its maker. The natural wool tones and deep earthen palette reveal centuries of refinement in both technique and meaning.

Light yet durable, this piece brings a quiet strength and timeless texture to modern interiors—a living fragment of Kurdish craftsmanship preserved through touch and time. See less
