Ladik Prayer Rug
second half 18th century, 160 x 104 cm, Central Anatolia
The plain red mihrab field terminates in three small arches at the top. The white area above it contains two palmettes. The six long-stemmed tulips in the red-ground uppermost section of the field are the reason the type is named "tulip Ladik". Purchased by the collector at Galerie Eberhart Herrmann, Munich, in the 1980s.
