The carpets existing in Baskil Doğancık Village Father Hadji Hasan Tomb that is the concerned topic of the study have been donated to the mosque by people who are te members of Zeybe Tribe living in the district. Even though there have been many existing carpets in the tomb until a few years ago, just six carpets remained now.
