Featured in this lot is this Anatolian Turkish boujad kilim circa 1940 to 1950's. The kilim features a wonderfully and professionally crafted wool construction with a flat weave showing an 'H' designation in the center of the rug with traditional design to the weave. The decoration to the kilim shows a slightly stepped design with a vibrant heathered greenish field and organish red coloration to the "H' in the middle. The kilim shows fringe on both sides that is slightly cropped. Village women wove themes significant for their lives into their rugs, whether before marriage or during married life. Some motifs represent desires, such as for happiness and children; others, for protection against threats such as wolves (to the flocks) and scorpions, or against the evil eye. Due to their fear of its venom, people used to carry jewelry in the form of a scorpion or decorated with the tail of a scorpion in order to protect themselves against this animal. The condition of this Turkish kilim is well preserved with no obvious signs of damage with good coloration and shows a well preserved overall condition. The measurements of this kilim is 9-foot 8-inches by 6-foot 5-inches. The collective weight of this kilim is S132
