Camel Bag c. 19th century

This 19th century "Camel Bag" rug, likely produced by an anonymous artist, is a beautiful example of traditional Turkish textile art. The intricate diamond pattern, woven in rich hues of red, blue, yellow, and green, is a characteristic feature of Turkish carpets and rugs. The rug's geometric design and vibrant colors are reminiscent of the rich cultural heritage of the region. This piece, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers a glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship of Turkish weavers.
