In perfect condition, this piece measures 150 cm wide by 225 cm long.
The patterns and colors of Kutaya are very close to Yürüks rugs, (an Anatolian ethnic group).
The patterns of the former are more linear and the borders more simplified, the hooks around the diamonds disappear, however their decorations are fully similar to Caucasian rugs.
Kutaya are more often of an elongated format such as :
80/100 x 200/220------ 130/150 x 225/250------120/130 cm x 300/320 cm.
Knotted in wool on wool, we owe this type of rug to the work of nomadic tribes and semi-nomadic that are the kutayas.
They are adept at totally geometric stylistic designs and the use of colors whose arrangement is particularly harmonious by favoring blue, red and cream.
These carpets are still knotted in the villages but also in larger workshops of the "cooperative" type.
The colors regularly used are blue, red, cream and a touch of curry yellow.
