These blankets “siirt battaniyesi” woven with the natural color silky mohair wool of the Angora goats can be mainly attributed to the semi-nomadic Yuruk tribes close to the town Siirt. The archaic and reduced patterns give the tribal blankets a very minimalist look. They can be used also as bed through or a very modern looking wall hanging.
