This distinctive vintage runner from Kars, Turkey, showcases the playful and symbolic elements often found in Anatolian tribal weaving. The composition is centered around a large geometric medallion, complemented by four stylized sheep motifs—one placed in each corner—adding character and narrative to the design.
The field is rendered in a warm pink tone, creating a vibrant yet inviting foundation. Brown corner elements and accents in ivory and beige provide contrast and structure, enhancing the clarity of the motifs.
The balance between bold geometry and charming figurative elements makes this runner particularly special, offering both visual interest and cultural depth.
Handknotted in wool, the rug features a durable construction with a soft, slightly lustrous texture typical of Kars weaving.
