Playful, expressive, and full of character, this early 21st-century Iraqi flat-weave pairs a warm ivory ground with fine linear stripes and an assortment of colorful, handwoven motifs. Rust, burnt orange, ochre, charcoal, and muted blue bring the composition to life, with abstract symbols sitting alongside colorful and charming, animal-like forms.
There is a lovely sense of spontaneity to the design. The motifs feel almost like small drawings scattered across the surface, creating a textile that is both graphic and whimsical.
Iraq, like its neighbors, has a rich history of regional and tribal weaving, with wool textiles serving both practical and decorative purposes across different communities. Geometric patterns and stylized references to the natural world appear throughout the region's flat-weaving traditions. While this piece's precise origin is unknown, its distinctive patterning offers a glimpse into the expressive possibilities of tribal textile design.
An original, collected-feeling textile that brings color, texture, and a touch of the unexpected to an interior. Particularly interesting alongside its twin, or as a standalone accent.
