Throughout the Kurdish districts, kilims were made for use as rugs and tent-hangings, and by the horsemen as mantles to throw about them in their journeyings by day and as a bed or covering at night. They are without pile, but, like the rugs of this district, are often very artistic, having more refinement of color and less striking designs than the Shirvan kilims. They are closely woven, without the open- workspaces, either in one piece with stripes of geometrical designs across the width, or in a heavier plain piece, or several stripes joined together, with embroidered designs, often quite elaborate. Some of these, called djijims, are large and of fine quality.
