Weaving Tradition & Origin:
The rug is crafted in a classic tribal tradition recognizable by its hand-knotted construction, visible in the tight, consistent knots and supple handle. Judging by the vivid color palette deep navy, crimson red, mustard yellow, and earthy browns and the stylized flower and medallion motifs, it likely comes from a village weaving community in the broader Caucasus-Anatolian region, famed for their bold geometric and botanical symbolism.

Motifs & Patterns:
The central diamond medallion is surrounded by intricate rosette forms, symbolizing protection, abundance, and the beauty of nature. The main border is filled with stylized blossoms and abstract leaves, an age-old motif signifying life and regeneration. The interplay of color and form creates a sense of movement, energy, and harmony hall marks of authentic, handwoven artistry.

Materials & Craftsmanship:
Woven with high-quality, naturally dyed wool on a wool foundation, the rug feels dense and soft underfoot. The yarns display subtle variegation, indicating traditional hand-dyeing techniques. The fringe is hand-finished and the selvages are sturdy, showing careful attention to long-lasting durability.
