Unlike the characteristically muted earth tones typically associated with this highland region, this piece displays a daring and high-energy palette, showcasing the weaver's unique artistic autonomy and mid-century aesthetic.

The rug serves as an ideal centerpiece for Organic Modern, Mid-Century Modern, or Bohemian-inspired interiors. Its sophisticated geometric composition and historic provenance make it a collectible textile that bridges the gap between traditional village craft and contemporary design sensibilities. The rare "signature" tuft of pile at the center adds a tactile, sculptural element to the flat-woven surface.

(Primary colors: Sunset Orange, Charcoal, Hot Pink, Cream)
• Field dominated by a saturated sunset orange and contrasting charcoal bands.
• Accents of vivid hot pink and sky blue provide a modern, rhythmic pulse.
• Natural silver-grey and beige tones offer a soft, wool-rich counterpoint.
• Strategic use of deep brown highlights the geometric precision of the motifs.

◆ Motifs & Symbolism:
The rug is structured with rows of hexagonal "gul" motifs and nested triangles, symbolizing protection and family abundance within Anatolian village culture. A rare and distinct "signature" tuft of hand-knotted pile sits at the center, serving as a weaver's mark of pride and individuality. The integration of the year 1966 into the weave provides a permanent record of its creation, a tradition often reserved for high-quality dowry or personal-use pieces. The repetition of geometric forms reflects the vast, rugged landscapes of the Kars plains near the Caucasian border.
