Balıkesir Yağcıbedir Kilim

One of the ancient forms of art within Turkic tribes of Anatolia is that of kilim. The people of Anatolia have a rich history dating back thousands of years, and they have been using similar tools of expression throughout their rich history. The kilims have their own originality and are a piece of the richness of Anatolian art and perhaps the most important and richest examples of all Anatolian art.
