| Description | Konya kilims are known for their ability to convey deep symbolism within simple designs, their vibrant natural dyes, and their balanced compositions. In this kilim, a series of large, diamond-shaped motifs in the center immediately catches the eye. Each of these forms is decorated with smaller, nested shapes and is often associated with symbols like fertility, protection, the tree of life, and the ram's horn. The small star and flower-like figures placed between the diamonds represent the cycle of life, harmony with nature, and fertility. The symmetrical and colorful arrangement of the border is particularly striking. Often interpreted as the "ram's horn" or "open abundance" figure, these border motifs carry meanings of power, masculinity, the continuation of the family line, and protection. The colorful borders frame the simpler structure of the main pattern, completing the composition beautifully. |
