(Primary colors: Burnt Orange, Aubergine, Soft Pink, Sage Green, Black, Ivory)
• The field is dominated by a saturated burnt orange that provides a warm, glowing foundation.
• Central medallions feature deep aubergine and soft pink detailing, creating a sophisticated focal point.
• Sage green and ivory accents within the motifs add brightness and definition to the geometric forms.
• Black outlines sharpen the design, emphasizing the Caucasian-style precision of the weave.
• The natural abrasion of the dyes gives the rug a dynamic, textured visual depth.

◆ Motifs & Symbolism:
The design is centered around large, multi-pointed star medallions, a classic motif in Eastern Anatolian and Caucasian weavings symbolizing the universe and spiritual protection. The borders are intricately woven with "Pitrak" (burdock) symbols, traditionally used to ward off the evil eye and protect the family. Additional "Elibelinde" (hands-on-hips) motifs subtly integrated into the pattern represent fertility and motherhood, honoring the rug's original purpose as a dowry item woven for a new household.
