Curator's Notes
- An absolute classic, diamond-based designs create a beautiful and dynamic field of geometric shapes
- Typically associated with the Yoruk nomads of Anatolia, these latch-hook ornaments are believed to protect against sources of danger—including ill will, wild animals, and natural disasters
- Geometric designs feature angular edges and shapes—like diamonds, squares, lattices, and stylized animals
