The vast majority of Syrian Kurdish pieces are kilims. Dyed with pomegranate skins, sometimes using linen in addition to cotton or wool, the Syrian Kurdish pieces are bright, colorful. Covered with symbols of life one sometimes sees flowers, the “waist” of a girl, hair combs, earrings, diamond shaped protection symbols. They are no longer being made and are an exquisite and meaningful memory of a once vibrant culture.
