This flatweave rug (huduna) is a one-sided flatweave mixed with patterned fringes. This bohemian style type of carpet can be worn by women on special occasions in the village such as weddings. People also use them as bed coverings or home decoration. The complex patterns in these carpets mean they take a longer time to make.
