Featured in this lot is an Eastern Anatolian Wool Kilim Prayer Rug, circa 1930s-1950s. Many motifs are used in traditional Kilims, handmade flat-woven rugs, each with many variations. In Turkish Anatolia, in particular, 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". These motifs were often combined when woven into patterns on kilims. With the fading of tribal and village cultures in the 20th century, the meanings of kilim patterns have also faded. The rug is predominately a deep reddish brown color with black, blue, red and pink throughout the piece. The rug shows good condition overall, some hem marring observed. Measures 102"L x 49"W.*
