About the Item
This extraordinary textile, measuring 190 × 122 cm, is a rare and well-preserved example of Ottoman artistry from the Banja Luka region in the Balkans, dating likely to the late 19th. Woven as a decorative Ottoman prayer textile or wall hanging, this piece embodies a confluence of religious, artistic, and cultural elements unique to the Balkan-Ottoman period. At the center, a delicately rendered mihrab (prayer niche) rises gracefully into an arched form, framed by an exquisite composition of blooming vases, stylized floral sprays, and architectural motifs. The design is layered with depth and motion, scrolling vines, curling stems, and tulip-like flowers bloom with controlled elegance, while urns and vases on pedestals appear as both real and symbolic offerings. The palette is refined and lively, with soft ivory grounds accented by coral red, deep navy blue, and warm ochres. These tones lend the textile an uplifting, ceremonial quality, while the hand-embroidered or knotted wool technique gives it remarkable textural depth. This piece likely served a decorative and devotional role within a household or religious setting. In a very good condition for its age, this textile is not only a visually compelling object, but also a historic document of Ottoman-Balkan textile heritage — ideal for collectors, curators, or anyone passionate about sacred design.
