◆ Motifs & Symbolism:
The design language of this runner is steeped in Anatolian tribal tradition, featuring a central column of lozenge-shaped medallions that often symbolize the chest or the heart of the family. These primary motifs are flanked by sawtooth edges and latch-hook devices, known as "wolf's mouth" or "scorpion" symbols, which are woven to offer protection against the evil eye and safeguard the household. The repetitive, rhythmic nature of the geometry reflects the weaver's desire for continuity and the flow of life.
