(Primary colors: Deep red, navy blue, olive green, mustard yellow, and teal)
• The field is dominated by a saturated, deep red that provides a warm, commanding foundation for the entire composition.
• Three prominent central medallions introduce deep navy blue and olive green, creating a structured, geometric focal point.
• Golden mustard yellow and bright teal accents highlight the intricate tribal motifs, bringing a subtle vibrancy to the interior details.
• A complementary border system uses alternating blocks of color that perfectly echo the earthy hues found within the central medallions.

◆ Motifs & Symbolism:
This runner is anchored by three prominent hexagonal medallions along the central axis, a hallmark layout of Anatolian tribal design that emphasizes symmetry and spatial harmony. The interior motifs often incorporate stylized protective symbols, specifically woven to ward off the evil eye and bring good fortune to the village home. Geometric borders frame the composition with repeating leaf and vine patterns, reflecting the agrarian surroundings and close connection to nature. These culturally significant elements transform the piece from a functional floor covering into a woven narrative of mid-century Turkish life.
