Rare and old, this "weftless sumak" (simple weft-wrapping) bag face is fine and exceptional. The colors and patina are beautiful and the subtle, sculpted-like surface that is inherent to so-called "weftless "structures gives this bag face a distinctive surface and rich appearance. The wool is silky. Sometimes called Heybe, Anatolian bags with this kind of age are rare and "weftless sumak" examples - meaning that there is only one set of wrapping wefts with no ground weft between the rows of wrapping wefts - are even more rare. Although an undeniably primary and early structure, Kurdish weavers in Eastern Anatolia seem to have been the only weavers to preserve this structure into the 19th century.
