12″ Afghan Kilim Pillow (Tribal Design)

Details:

Origin: Afghanistan

Age: About 100 years old

Dimensions: 22″ squared

Description:

This pillow was hand woven by the Turkmen in the north part of Afghanistan using fine sheep wool.

The design is a very old tribal pattern that resembles those that native Americans used.

It is believed that similarities between native American and Turkmen designs are the result of a migration of eastern people to the North American continent via an ice bridge that crossed the Bering Strait.
