Woven in the 1960s for domestic use rather than export, the piece showcases a bold, rhythmic composition of geometric medallions that travel the length of its elongated field. The wool pile has been meticulously shaved to a low, uniform height, enhancing the clarity of the tribal patterns while providing a sleek, modern texture suitable for contemporary high-traffic corridors.

The rug’s warm, saturated palette of madder red and burnt orange is punctuated by striking neon pink accents, a characteristic creative flourish often found in traditional dowry pieces from the region. Its substantial length and narrow width make it an exceptional choice for grounding an Organic Modern entryway, a Mid-Century hallway, or a curated kitchen space. This runner is a testament to the enduring appeal of Anatolian tribal geometry, offering both a historical narrative and a sophisticated design statement.

◆ Color Palette & Design Insight:
A high-energy, warm-toned composition grounded by deep madder reds with punchy neon highlights.
(Primary colors: Madder Red, Burnt Orange, Electric Pink)
• Saturated madder red field serving as a vibrant and durable foundation.
• Dynamic hexagonal medallions in sunset orange and vintage electric pink.
• Accents of sage green and charcoal define the core of the tribal motifs.
• A geometric border in ivory and ochre provides a structured frame to the bold field.

◆ Motifs & Symbolism:
The central field is anchored by five large hexagonal medallions, a traditional Anatolian motif representing the family hearth and domestic protection. Surrounding these primary forms are serrated "wolf's mouth" or "comb" motifs, symbols traditionally woven to protect the home from harm. The bold use of color and varying geometric details within each medallion reveal the individual artistic hand of the village weaver. These patterns are not merely decorative but serve as a visual language of regional identity and cultural heritage.
