Hand-knotted using high-quality organic wool, the piece is characterized by its soft high pile and a primitive geometric aesthetic. Because it utilizes only the natural tones of sheep wool without any synthetic dyes, it offers a sophisticated, earthy texture that is increasingly sought after by discerning interior designers.

Its elongated proportions and thick, tactile surface make it an ideal choice for high-end residential corridors, entryways, or as a bedside statement. The neutral palette and bold, honest geometry allow it to integrate flawlessly into Organic Modern, Japandi, and minimalist Scandinavian-inspired spaces, providing a grounded sense of history and artisan warmth.

◆ Color Palette & Design Insight:
A balanced and evocative exploration of the depth found in natural, undyed wool fibers.
(Primary colors: Ivory, Chocolate Brown, Mocha)
• The primary field consists of a creamy, multi-tonal ivory that highlights the hand-spun quality of the wool.
• Deep chocolate brown motifs provide a sharp, primitive contrast that anchors the design.
• Substantial mocha and tan accents create a soft transitional gradient between the field and the motifs.
• The overall aesthetic is one of rustic luxury, focusing on texture and material honesty over complex coloration.

◆ Motifs & Symbolism:
The design features a sequence of bold, stepped diamond medallions, a signature motif of Kurdish tribal weavers representing protection and the domestic hearth. These geometric forms serve as ancient amulets, traditionally woven to bring strength and security to the family home. The rhythmic repetition along the length of the runner suggests the flow of water or the continuity of nomadic life. Each variation in the medallion shapes reflects the weaver's personal artistic expression and the spontaneous nature of village-loomed art.
