In good condition.
It’s actually a pillow like or bag. It’s woven with the zili or zilu technique on the front while the back is flat weave with some flower embroidery.
Zilu is woven on the vertical loom.
Zilu weaving in Anatolia and the Caucasus belong to the nomadic community and the village while the zilu weaving of Iran is only woven by groups that inhabit Iran's desert cities such as Meybod, Yazd and Kashan.
In Anatolian and Caucasian zilu, in addition to the warp and ground weft, the pattern weft is also used.
In Anatolia, the pattern weft runs over and below certain warps that do not change to the end of the weaving.
