This hand-knotted Konya Yastik rug is a masterful representation of mid-century Anatolian weaving, showcasing a vibrant crimson field anchored by traditional geometric medallions. Woven circa 1970, this petite textile offers a robust yet refined presence, making it an ideal choice for elevated transition spaces.

◆ Color Palette & Design Insight:
The palette is a classic Anatolian arrangement that balances fiery warmth with deep, stabilizing cool tones.
(Primary colors: Crimson Red, Midnight Blue, Saffron Yellow)
• Saturated Crimson serves as the primary field, offering a rich, traditional foundation.
• Midnight Blue provides structural contrast within the corner brackets and medallions.
• Saffron and Ochre accents illuminate the geometric motifs with a golden brilliance.
• Forest Green outlines add an organic layer of depth to the tribal symbology.
◆ Motifs & Symbolism:
The composition centers around a hexagonal medallion, a hallmark of Konya village design that symbolizes the protection of the home. Flanking the center are "Elibelinde" (hands-on-hips) motifs, which traditionally represent fertility and the matriarchal strength of the weaver. The saw-tooth or zig-zag borders serve as protective "fences," symbolically guarding the inner contents of the rug from negative external forces. Each knot reflects a centuries-old visual language preserved by nomadic tribes and village artisans.
