Handwoven Bird Kilim | Geometric Wool Rug, Modern Wall Art (82x61cm)

Bursting with color and symbolism, this handwoven kilim blends centuries of weaving tradition with a distinctly modern geometric aesthetic. Measuring 82 × 61 cm (2.7 × 2.0 ft), the rug features a playful composition of stylized birds and camels woven into clean rectangular panels — each rendered in vivid, contrasting tones of turquoise, orange, green, ivory, and charcoal.

This striking textile is part of a revivalist movement in tribal weaving, where artisans reinterpret classic nomadic motifs through simplified modern geometry. Each motif — birds, camels, and fish — reflects prosperity, freedom, and harmony with nature, while the symmetrical grid layout introduces balance and visual rhythm.

Executed in hand-spun wool using the slit-weave kilim technique, the piece is lightweight yet robust, perfectly suited for wall hanging, table display, or layering over larger neutral rugs. Its precise weaving and clean edges testify to skilled craftsmanship rooted in tribal workshop traditions of the Pakistan–Afghanistan border region, known for their experimental modern flatweaves.
