Description | This Anatolian kilim, with its horizontal bands of diamond-shaped motifs, carries the traces of regional artistic exchange. Each band can be seen as representing a different stage of life, an emotional state, or a seasonal cycle. The frequently used nested diamond (baklava) motifs symbolize abundance, family unity, and the cyclical nature of life. The small floral and star-like patterns within them are interpreted as symbols of fertility and hope. The "hook" (çengel) or "ram's horn" (koç boynuzu) symbols are prominent in the borders. These powerful figures carry a protective meaning, traditionally used to ward off the evil eye and negative energies. The color palette—a serene balance of soft pastel tones and earthy hues—is both easy on the eyes and offers a timeless aesthetic. |
