20th Century Tulu Prayer Hand-Knotted Rug by Wool Grey and Brown Turkish

About the Item

Tulu with prayer motif. The theme has various readings and is also found in other forms of art from the Middle East. Some scholars see the origin of this element of decoration in the ancient cult of the "Mother Goddess" Tulu are turkish rugs with a high and irregular pile, with very simple decorations and bright colors, mainly used as a bed. The Tulu have retained their original characteristics because being produced for personal use, they have not suffered the influences of the western markets. The quality of the wool is that of the flocks of the plateaus, soft and shiny. The colors are natural and extracted from materials found on site, such as plants, flowers and small insects. Very often wool is used, without dyeing, selected in its natural colors. The decorations are always geometric and their origin is lost in time.
