Embroidered Marsh Arabi Kilim

6’9” x 4’8”
Wool
Southern Iraq, Vintage - approximately 70 years old

Marsh arabi kilims were hand embroidered and made to be used as wedding blankets in the southern marshalnds of Iraq. These are getting rarer to find as the Marsh Arab culture no longer exists, and they have not been made for at least 30 years. This could be used as a rug in a low traffic area, but would be best used on the wall or as a throw.
