◆ Color Palette & Design Insight:
A soothing, weathered palette defined by its sun-bleached neutrality and gentle pastel undertones.
(Primary colors: Sandy beige, dusty lavender, slate grey, charcoal)
• The expansive field is grounded in a muted sandy beige, providing a versatile, warm foundation.
• Geometric motifs are articulated in soft, dusty lavender and slate grey, adding subtle, sophisticated contrast.
• Deep charcoal accents outline the intricate tribal borders, framing the runner with delicate definition.
• The natural fading of the vegetable dyes over six decades has created a beautifully cohesive, low-contrast aesthetic ideal for modern interiors.

◆ Motifs & Symbolism:
The central composition features a rhythmic progression of large geometric diamond lozenges, a traditional Anatolian symbol of protection and domestic harmony. Within and surrounding these diamonds are serrated tribal motifs and variations of the "elibelinde" (hands-on-hips) emblem, which celebrates fertility, motherhood, and the creative spirit of the female weaver. The protective "pitrak" (burdock) symbols woven into the borders serve as ancient charms meant to ward off the evil eye. Together, these elements form a meaningful narrative that brings balanced energy and historic depth to elongated spaces.
