Obruk Rug, Yuruk Tribe, 133 X 174 Cm, Hand-knotted Wool On Wool Circa 1900, Konya Region

Obruk prayer rug, from the Konya region, knotted by the women of a sedentary Yuruk tribe.
These carpets are little known, often confused because of their color, approaching Kir-sehir and Moudjour.
The border always includes enigmatic elements, which only these populations know.
The wool is fluid, making soft carpets, the wool of very good quality, coming from the sheep breeding of these tribes.
If ancient pieces from Asia Minor have been preserved for us in such remarkable condition, it is no doubt thanks to the quality of the wools or silks used, and their dense weaving, but also because they have no been held only by pious hands, as those who tied them were pious.
These rooms were only used for prayer and were put away afterwards.
Our model with a beautiful red niche is in very good condition, typical of this rare production.
The weft is in double wool, the warp in wool followed by a wool pile.
Dimensions: width: 133 cm (52") x length: 174 cm (69")
This rug can be used as a decorative element on the floor, but given its great beauty, it can also be placed as a decoration on a wall.
