This yastik surprised me when I felt it. It is more solid then most really old yastik. Most have a floppy handle and this one is firm. The reason can be seen below. This is a rather rare single weft construction while almost all Turkish rugs have two shots of weft between each row of knots this yastik has but one.

Bergama Area Yastik that I suspect is older than you would think.

Waps: Two ply Ivory wool.

Wefts 1 shot of two ivory wool singles.

Knot: Symetrical, 6.5 by 10.5 knots to the inch, 68 kpsi.

Size 35 by 18
