52341 Distressed Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 04'04 x 06'08.
This hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug with rustic style features a variety of traditional Anatolian symbols interlaced into a striking design. The large center medallion features a bouquet surrounded by floral forms and ram’s horns, while hands-on-hips pendants protrude outward. Botanical S-shaped figures with ram’s horns adorn the corner spandrels. A palmette main border and S-motif guard borders frame the composition. The hands-on-hips, or goddess, symbol represents motherhood, while ram’s horns represent masculinity. S-shapes represent hooks, which are thought to protect against evil. The rusty terra cotta color of the field and accent colors complement a mostly neutral color palette, making this vintage Oushak rug warm, inviting and versatile.
