Antique Kula Prayer Rug Western Anatolian Turkish Mihrab Carpet Rare Design
About the Item
This is an antique prayer (mihrab) rug from Western Anatolia, Kula region with a very rare and beautiful color composition.
Kula rugs, also known as Kula prayer kilims, are handwoven rugs that originated in the Kula region of western Turkey. Kula is a town known for its rug-weaving tradition and is renowned for producing high-quality prayer rugs.
Kula prayer rugs are unique in their design and construction. Unlike traditional pile-woven prayer rugs, Kula rugs are flat-woven textiles known as kilims. They are created using a tapestry weaving technique, resulting in a flat and reversible surface.
The design of Kula prayer rugs often features a mihrab, which is an arched prayer niche that indicates the direction of Mecca. The mihrab is typically surrounded by geometric patterns, floral motifs, or symbolic elements. These rugs also often incorporate decorative borders and intricate details.
The color palette used in Kula prayer rugs is typically rich and vibrant, with hues of red, blue, green, and ivory being common. Natural dyes derived from plants and minerals were traditionally used to achieve these colors.
