A wool pile of symmetrical knots on a cotton foundation. This unique tribal piece draws inspiration from Central Anatolian Ladik designs but interprets them in an idiosyncratic way. The near-black field features two ecru 'faces' at each end and a notched central rose-colored panel. The coral main border is decorated with a squared meander, botehs, and rosettes, while the middle slate border showcases floating botehs.
