Rugs of this rare type are analyzed in the literature. It is a significant Anatolian kilim. Analysis of the dyes and wool substantiate the woven in date.

Kagizman is an area in northeastern Anatolia. The region is mixed ancestery: Armenian, Seljuk, Mongol and Ottoman. Use of Latin numbers in the date woven into the design suggests an Armenian or Kurdish weaver.

The primary motif of the rug is either Ottoman carnation or elibelinde. The anthropomorphic forms in the field possibly connect to the ancient cult iconography of Neolithic Anatolia. In the late 1970s the design came to be known as the Carnation pattern based upon the belief that it is directly related to the carnation motif on the 15th and 16th century Ottoman velvets and brocaeds of Bursa. which village weavers replicated on their wool kilims and rugs. However, it is possible that the carnation design merged with the goddess/vulture motif in later Anatolian kilims. Examples supporting the godess theory are shown in the literature with the key motif oriented in tha same direction, while those supporting the carnation theory are displayed with the opposite end as the top.
