Shirvan Khilims are woven all in one 
piece of an excellent wool yarn and are 
characterized by horizontal stripes run¬ 
ning from edge to edge without a border 
The Kurdish Khilim has large 
diamond shaped figures enclosing 
a smaller design, and, like the 
Karamanian, is quiet in color¬ 
ing. This one is brick color with 
blue and white 
The intricate pattern of the Selma 
Khilim closely follows that of the 
pile rug. W oven from the best mate¬ 
rials it is fine in texture. The one to 
the left combines old rose, light blue, 
and green
