Fiziksel açıklama
Saddle cover (made from something else and requires more thought) WARP: cream wool; Z2S; 18 threads per inch (70 per dm). WEFT: light brown wool; unable to ascertain spin and twist; 2 shoots after every row of knots; 21 knots per inch (86 per dm). PILE: wool; 6 colours: dark red with some bleeding into the cream, red, dark blue, blue, dark brown, cream; asymmetrical knot open to the right and tied around 2 threads; 189 knots per sq. inch (3010 per sq. dm). SIDE FINISH: Lower part: one cord oversewn with blue wool. Upper part: kelim band with slits; not using weft from the piled areas (which is fine) but using warp wool. Traces of a fringe. END FINISH: Lower: maximum of 3.5 cms. of plain weave with cream weft; turned and stitched in place. Upper: one row of blue soumak the 3.5 cms. plain weave with cream weft. DESIGN: two equal parts joined vertically. There is now an arch shaped with a band above it. The arch contains a square with two rectangles and several borders - the outer one contains stepped diamonds and the inner ones are checked. The band has a central hexagon with half a hexagon to either side; these contain a diamond motif. There is an "insert" in the sixth border from either side - there might originally have been a slit here. Date catalogued: 21.6.94
