Crafted by village weavers for personal domestic use, the rug features a lush, high-pile "Tulu-style" texture that offers a remarkably soft and tactile underfoot experience. Its impressive length and narrow width make it a definitive statement piece for grand hallways, expansive galleries, or as a warm textural anchor in a modern kitchen.

The aesthetic is a sophisticated blend of raw, organic materials and vibrant folk-art geometry. Set against a luminous cream field of undyed sheep wool, the design showcases a series of bold, multi-colored medallions that reflect the weaving traditions of the region. Whether placed in a Japandi-inspired interior or a high-contrast Organic Modern space, this runner brings a sense of authentic history and artisanal warmth that only a true village-woven piece can provide.

(Primary colors: Natural Cream, Burnt Orange, Deep Magenta, Plum Purple)
• The background is composed of soft, undyed ivory wool, providing a natural and organic foundation.
• Large-scale medallions are rendered in vibrant shades of orange and magenta for a bold visual rhythm.
• Accents of forest green and teal provide a sophisticated chromatic balance.
• Deep charcoal outlines emphasize the geometric precision of the tribal motifs.

◆ Motifs & Symbolism:
The rug is decorated with a sequence of diamond-shaped medallions, a motif deeply rooted in Anatolian culture often symbolizing protection and the weaver's personal narrative. The high-pile construction, traditionally known as "Tulu," was favored for its insulation and comfort, turning a functional object into a piece of nomadic art. A distinctive feature is the woven signature at one end, a hallmark of a weaver’s pride and a testament to the piece’s unique village provenance.
