For a piece like that you payed a little too much. If it's really all natural die then it could be worth it. Granted the work is a bit specialized but could be done in a day or 2. It's a rather nice one tho.

Source: i asked my mother who used to make these and rugs from scratch when she was a kid.

Edit: she also said it is likely not from mid Anatolia. But from the east of turkey. Likely mardin or urfa area.

FTFY.

Although payed exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:

  • Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. The deck is yet to be payed.

  • Payed out when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. The rope is payed out! You can pull now.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.

Beep, boop, I'm a bot

Thank you for teaching me a new word! I didn’t know “payed” existed.

Hey thanks for your input! Wow they can make these in a day? Thought it took weeks.

It is natural die and the shop owner said mid Anatolia. Hopefully he’s correct or I would have reason to believe other things are incorrect as well haha

Yeah couple days could be considered fast indeed.

Well its not like they can't make other styles from different regions so it doesn't have to mean anything. She just pointed it out after she asked me if you knew where it came from and i said you didn't.
