Heinrich Kirchheim, Hali Publications Ltd, 1993 nr.178\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is an unusual border drawing, medallion carpet design 16th-century carpet from the Konya region, Central Anatolia area, Turkey. A detail in the border drawing is so unusual that it must be mentioned: it forms an almost closed circle that leaves a small opening to one side. Either it can be a strongly curled leaf or a shell which is often given an amuletic function in rural textiles. Among specialists, Anatolian carpets kilims are believed to record symbols of ancient values and ideas, a tradition that dates back several millennia and was only displaced during the industrial age. The Anatolian kilim design tradition probably owes its lucky survival to the fact that pile-woven carpets look more precious and would already have had a higher prestige value several millennia ago. Kilim weaving was, therefore, able to survive undisturbed within an intact cultural context for a long period of time. The design of this rug is interpreted with a series of borders and soft colors used for this rug. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor summary:\u003c\/strong\u003e  9 colors in total;\u003cul\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDusty Turquoise \u003c\/strong\u003e 340 (Spurge - Madder Root - Indigo - Walnut Husk)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCongo Pink \u003c\/strong\u003e 306 (Madder Root)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWax Flower\u003c\/strong\u003e 530 (Spurge - Madder Root - Reseda Luteola)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaramel \u003c\/strong\u003e 537 (Tea)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurquoise \u003c\/strong\u003e 330 (Spurge - Madder Root - Indigo - Walnut Husk)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePullman Brown \u003c\/strong\u003e 542 (Walnut Husk - Henna - Pomegranate)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCadet Blue\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 (Spurge - Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlack Chocolate \u003c\/strong\u003e 434 (Pomegranate - Spurge - Madder Root)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunray Color \u003c\/strong\u003e 405 (Henna)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003eFor more information about our \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/colors\/\"\u003ecolors.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Ararat Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700745568552,"sku":"ART00520","price":2300.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/7780\/8936\/files\/id_ART00520_V-scaled_v2.jpg?v=1776121869","url":"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/products\/anatolian-medallion-carpet-art00520","provider":"Ararat Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
