Turkish Jajim Area Rug 5' X 8'3

The Jajim (cecim) technique is followed in Turkey, Persia and the Caucasus and consists of a plain weave (equal warps and wefts) ground with an added (supplementary) weft pattern. The wefts are usually discontinuous, cut off on the verso (back). The pattern develops as the ground is woven on the loom and not added afterwards as on an embroidered rug. Colors: beige/terracotta/green.
