The kilim (flat-weave) technique creates smooth, lightweight grounds. The sumak (wrapped-weft) method builds raised, ribbed surfaces with exceptional durability. The hali (knotted pile) technique introduces soft, velvety medallions that rise above the flat-weave surface. This combination of methods within a single piece demonstrates extraordinary technical mastery and is increasingly rare in contemporary production.
