About the Item
The large hooked triangle that dominates the composition of this other Tulu acts as a directional motif delineating the prayer niche, which follows the direction of weaving. It could just as well be meditation element connected to the ancient cults of the Neolithic period, as the large triangle is rendered in such a way as if it was depicting a giant pregnant Goddess. The traces of henna painting on the left border emphasize its ritual significance.

Antique Yastik Turkish Anatolian Rug, Oushak
Located in Evanston, IL
Explore the legacy of Anatolian rugs, a term that encompasses the rich tapestry of carpets woven in Anatolia and its surrounding regions. Geographically, this area aligns with the historical dominion of the Ottoman Empire, a territory where the art of rug-making flourished.
In ancient Anatolia, where harsh winters were a reality, ingenious weavers turned to the abundant resource of lamb's wool to craft thick-pile rugs that provided both warmth and comfort. Over millennia, this tradition evolved and was carried forth by nomadic Turks, eventually leaving an indelible mark on human culture and society.
