This small heybe has been attributed to the
Eregli area, near Nigde in Central Anatolia, which has both Turkish
and Kurdish inhabitants. Seemingly too small for normal adult use,
it may have been made for a child.
The hooked medallions resemble those seen in a number of Kurdish
pile rug types, most of which have offset knots. Also, the
coloration seems to be typically Kurdish.
