In the 1980's the textile department of the University of Marmara worked on a project with villages near Izmir, western Turkey. Their aim was to persuade the weavers to reuse natural dyes and traditional designs into rug weaving.

This project, DOBAG, has brought prosperity to the villages. This rug is a typical example and was made in the village of Yuntdag.
