Adana is a busy industrial and agricultural centre on the southeastern coast of Turkey that has its back the extensive Toros mountains. Traditionally designed handmade kilims,cicms, yastiks (pillowcases) and cuval (grainsacks) were woven by settled nomadic woman in the villages of the Adana and surrounding Toros mountain region as an ıntegral part of a young womans' marriage dowry.The symbols used on all kilims can be bold and often naieve but they have special meanings and can reflect the weavers desire for protection, abundance, happiness, fertility, etc. Adana produces large quantities of cotton, which is often used in their kilims, for the colour contrast in both border and field designs where reds, pink, orange, purple and blue fading to grey are common. Those Adana Yoruk (nomadic) kilims and cicims found on the market place are usually small in format taking 2-3 months to make with a medium weave and more vibrant colour on a natural camel or white cotton background. .This particular two paneled cicim kilim is very unusually beautiful in a finer weave,softer color palette and large format and would have taken at least 8 months to weave. 
Adana kilims and cicims are always excellent value for money.
