    billyd3us Thanks All my Friends

    This small rug is hand woven and feels like stiff wool or something. Bigger at one end and pieces look like a puzzle piece. Any clues on this piece, where it came from etc.
    tribe, ???????????????

    Billy, I'm not an expert but that looks like an Indian kilim and condition negates any value.

    Perhaps Afghan, or similar Central Asian country. Just a small piece, made for tourist market. The wool is probably goat and/or camel hair, hence the scratchiness.

    "Kilim" refers to the weaving technique, which is similar to tapestry weave, and distinguishes this type of textile from pile rugs.

    Thanks Debora, I know it doesn't have much value because of the condition, I just wanted to know where, when, who made it etc. that's all.
