The field is composed of organic, undyed sheep’s wool in a deep espresso shade, providing a textured, minimalist foundation for the vibrant geometric architecture of the central prayer niche. Originally crafted for personal use rather than commerce, the rug possesses an authentic, soulful quality that resonates with collector-grade textiles.

This piece transitions seamlessly between roles, serving as a powerful focal point for a gallery wall or an intimate accent in an Organic Modern entryway or guest suite. Its unused condition preserves the structural integrity and original color saturation, making it a rare find for a curated interior. The stark contrast between the earthy dark field and the luminous "Tree of Life" motifs allows it to anchor spaces ranging from Japandi to eclectic Boho-Chic.

(Primary colors: Deep Espresso, Fuchsia, Turquoise, Marigold)
• Ground: A rich, dark cocoa brown derived from undyed natural sheep wool.

• Details: Touches of marigold yellow and sunset orange highlight the central "Tree of Life."
• Highlights: Natural slate gray and ivory wool create textural depth within the borders.

◆ Motifs & Symbolism:
The central vertical axis features a stacked "Tree of Life" motif, a profound symbol representing the connection between the earthly and spiritual realms. Encased within a stepped Mihrab or prayer arch, the design reflects the rug's traditional function as a sacred space. Geometric "Ram's Horn" (Kocboynuzu) patterns run along the outer borders, historically woven to represent strength and protection for the weaver's family. These symbols, combined with the weaver’s choice of bold, spontaneous hues, offer a rare glimpse into the personal creative language of Eastern Anatolian village life.
