An antique Jijim from Malatya (Marattya).
Woven with a gentle, even plain weave, this vertically oriented textile features three soft colors as the foundation, adorned with beautiful Jijim patterns sewn together seamlessly.
The three foundation colors—red, yellow, and black—are dyed with remarkable uniformity, maintaining a stunning palette.
The Jijim itself is delicate and refined, woven with carefully chosen threads that shift in color to create exquisite patterns.
Particularly striking are the Jijim motifs that emerge against the black foundation, creating an impression of luminous beauty.
An impressive Jijim work measuring nearly 4 meters in length. With its thin, light, and wonderfully soft foundation weave, it's perfect as a throw for sofas and beds.
It also works beautifully as a curtain, wall hanging, or room divider.
