This hand-knotted runner rug, hailing from the rugged landscapes of Southeastern Anatolia, represents a vibrant chapter of late 20th-century village craftsmanship. Woven in the 1980s for personal domestic use, it showcases a bold authenticity through its saturated burgundy field and a sequence of oversized, expressive tribal medallions. The high pile construction provides a substantial underfoot feel, emphasizing its origins as a functional yet deeply artistic household treasure.
Ideally suited for high-traffic gallery spaces, long entryways, or as a dramatic focal point alongside a kitchen island, this piece bridges the gap between traditional folk art and contemporary interior aesthetics. Its spirited color palette and primitive geometry allow it to anchor diverse spaces, from curated Organic Modern hallways to eclectic Boho-Chic and maximalist environments.

◆ Color Palette & Design Insight:
A deep, authoritative maroon field serves as the stage for a high-energy constellation of jewel-toned medallions.
(Primary colors: Deep Burgundy, Cerulean Blue, Electric Orange, Rose Pink, Sunshine Yellow)
• Saturated burgundy ground offers a grounding, sophisticated foundation for the vibrant motifs.
• Cerulean blue and electric orange accents provide a sharp, modern contrast that energizes the corridor.
• Soft rose pink and emerald green details add layers of depth to the central geometric figures.
• Sunshine yellow highlights serve as focal points that draw the eye across the full length of the rug.
◆ Motifs & Symbolism:
The central field is adorned with a sequence of large, stylized geometric medallions representing the "Kocboynuzu" (Ram's Horn), a traditional symbol of masculinity, power, and protection. Interspersed among these are smaller "Elibelinde" (Hands-on-Hips) symbols, which historically represent fertility and family life. The colorful serrated borders act as a protective frame, intended to guard the home from the "Evil Eye." Every geometric shift reflects the weaver's personal artistic journey during the creation process.
