Design & Symbolism
This piece features a traditional weft-faced plain weave accented with intricate horizontal bands of extra-weft brocading. The geometric patterns include stylized "Muska" (amulet) and "Göz" (eye) motifs, which are historically woven into tribal textiles to bring protection and good fortune to the home. The rich, earthy color palette is anchored by soft terracotta reds, deep indigo blues, and natural unbleached linen tones.Authenticity & CraftsmanshipThis is a 100% genuine, hand-woven tribal textile. The back of the rug showcases the beautiful, organic tension shifts and slight thickness variations characteristic of high-quality hand-spun wool loomed by human hands. The ends are finished with a beautiful, aged linen-toned natural fringe.
