The eight-pointed stars and diagonal cross leaves bordering the field are associated with the “bereket” motif (fertility and abundance), and the central shield bears a faded elibelinde (hands-on-hips) form—traditionally symbolizing female power and motherhood. The rug’s rare border treatment—with asymmetrical split-leaf vinery and irregular floral medallions—suggests a transitional phase between Ottoman urban influences and tribal village weaves, possibly woven in a dowry context.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"\u003eGold Ochre (Wild Daisy\/Weld):\u003c\/b\u003e This luminous yellow is derived from \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"67\" data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"\u003eWild Daisy\u003c\/b\u003e or \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"81\" data-path-to-node=\"14,0,0\"\u003eWeld\u003c\/b\u003e, common in Central Anatolia, known for maintaining its brilliance for over a century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"\u003eRust \u0026amp; Terra Cotta (Madder Root):\u003c\/b\u003e The deep reds and oranges come from \u003cb data-index-in-node=\"70\" data-path-to-node=\"14,1,0\"\u003eMadder root\u003c\/b\u003e harvested in the volcanic soils of Cappadocia, which produces a unique mineral-rich depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"14,2,0\"\u003eOxidized Ivory (Natural Lanolin\/Iron-rich water):\u003c\/b\u003e The \"ivory\" is undyed wool, but its specific \"oxidized\" patina comes from over 100 years of exposure to air and light, a hallmark of true antiques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge: \u003c\/strong\u003eEalry 20th century (c 1900 - 1920)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin: \u003c\/strong\u003eCentral Anatolia, Konya\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eKnot Density:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 25\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"math-inline\" data-math=\"\\approx 160,000 \\text{ knots\/m}^2\" data-index-in-node=\"14\"\u003e0,000 knots\/m2\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial: \u003c\/strong\u003e% 100 Hand-Spun Wool on cotton foundation\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53122778333511,"sku":null,"price":5700.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/9168\/5959\/files\/library_corner.png?v=1774462180","url":"https:\/\/thewovenanatolia.com\/products\/antique-anatolian-handwoven-natural-dye-rug","provider":"The Woven Anatolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
