Mujur
Early 19th century, 270 x 142 cm, Central Anatolia
The field design of very large blue octagons linked along the central axis, each enclosing a cruciform motif decorated with flowers, was created by a synthesis of the old Turkish traditions and the floral Ottoman formal language. The oldest examples of the group are now believed to originate from Karapinar. From there the design spread across Central Anatolia; Ladik appears to have been an initial centre. This gorgeous piece woven in subtle shades was probably made in Mujur. Not only the border design, but also the style of drawing and knotting structure suggest this attribution. – Elaborately restored in places, now in good condition.
