Featured in this lot is this Eastern Anatolian tribal Caucus Kilim circa 1930's. The region of Eastern Anatolia borders the Caucasian republics that recently gained independence from the now-defunct Soviet Union; it also abuts Iran, formerly known as Persia.

The rug features a black border with eight point stars adorning the border of the rug. The one side features a succession of tassels and one side is shown without. The condition of this Kilim is is good with some slight wear to the rug but otherwise in good overall condition. The measurements of this rug are 123" x 41".
