This is a wool flat weave in pretty good condition. The knots are at each end though the fringe is gone. There are spaces between the different colors where the wool does not overlap. A few are larger and may be from insects. Color is vivid.

Hello,
Your item is a handwoven wool flat weave rug, likely originating from the Middle East or Central Asia, possibly a tribal or nomadic weaving tradition. The geometric motifs and vivid colors, including the deep reds, blues, and ivory tones, suggest influences from Kilim weaving styles, commonly produced by Turkish, Persian, or Caucasian artisans. The zigzag borders and diamond medallion motifs are characteristic of Anatolian or Persian Kilims, often woven by skilled artisans for both decorative and utilitarian purposes.
The condition appears good, with some minor signs of wear, particularly in the fringe area, which is expected for older textiles of this nature. The woven structure remains intact, with no significant discoloration or damage beyond minor insect-related wear. The color retention is notable, indicating either high-quality natural dyes or careful preservation.
