About the Item

78745 Vintage Turkish Silk Rug with Egyptian Ankh Motif, 01'04 x 02'01. This hand knotted vintage Turkish silk rug features a large-scale Egyptian Ankh motif, making it a unique and beautiful piece. The combination of Turkish craftsmanship with an Egyptian symbol creates a fascinating blend of cultural elements. The neutral cream backdrop serves to highlight the intricate design of the Ankh motif, which is a symbol of life and immortality in ancient Egyptian culture. This vintage Turkish silk rug transcends mere aesthetics, weaving a tableau of history and symbolism that adds a captivating depth to nearly any space it graces. The Egyptian Ankh, a mystical hieroglyph known simply as the "Ankh," holds the secrets of life's eternal dance within its enigmatic form. Resembling a cross with a captivating loop at its peak, it is often cradled by the hands of ancient gods and pharaohs, veiled in the shadows of time's mysteries. Revered as a conduit to immortality, it whispers tales of resurrection and the infinite expanse of the universe from the depths of ancient tombs and temples. Its loop, a celestial portal where the sun's first rays pierce the veil of night, binds it to the cycles of life, death, and rebirth, weaving its essence into the mythos of the sun god Ra. Across the sands of time, the Ankh stands as an enduring symbol, a silent witness to the eternal continuum of existence beyond the realm of mortal understanding. Abrash. Hand knotted silk on silk. Made in Turkey. Measures: 01'04 x 02'01. Date: 1960s. Mid-20th Century.
