This hand knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug features three columns of large scale Kotchanak motifs filled with stepped medallions. Derived from the virility of the Ram's horn motif, the Kotchanak is also a fertility symbol. The Classic Elibelinde motif, also known as the “hands on hips” or goddess motif, is thought to represent motherhood and fertility while ram’s horns represent masculinity and power. The fertility bereket motifs that appear combine the symbols of both man and woman, often referred to as ram’s Horn and hands-on-hips motifs, into one design with a diamond in the centre. The composition expertly uses negative space to let its bold geometric designs take centre stage. Warm and inviting combined with the right amount of necessary aesthetic elements, this Kars area rug charms with ease and stays true to Fine craftsmanship and the simplicity of Mission style. Perfect for a living room, front room, bedroom, library, den, mudroom, study, office, sunroom or sitting room.
