HISTORY
There are five basic categories of traditional Turkish handicrafts that have been practiced in Anatolia for nearly a millennium. These are:

· Textile-weaving
· Tiles,and ceramics
· Wood and stone carving
· Metalworking
· Calligraphy and book-related arts

Textile-weaving traditionally focuses on the making of carpets, kilims as well as other hangings and coverings with names like cicim, zili, and sumak. Carpet-weaving, the Turks’ gift to the world of art, is quite and ancient handicraft and appears very early in all regions inhabited by nomadic Turkish groups. The oldest known knotted Turkish carpet was discovered in a barrow-tomb in the Altai mountains. Known as the Pazyrik carpet, this piece dates to the 4th century BC.
