Minda

• A variation of motifs—simple, tribal, bold, and colorful—all hailing from the Anatolian region (modern-day Turkey)
• Geometric designs feature angular edges and shapes—like diamonds, squares, lattices, and stylized animals
• A series of repeating medallions create a beautifully complex field or pattern
• Triangular amulet design—believed to protect against evil spirits and bad luck
• Just like a modern-day barber's pole, this pattern features alternating slanted stripes
• 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

Dosemealti, located in southwestern Anatolia (just north of Antalya’s seaside location), is well known for rugs that depict Anatolian-style motifs, all centered around a stylized cross.

Kork wool comes from the underbelly and neck of the sheep. Because both areas are slightly more protected from the elements, this wool has a higher lanolin content and a much softer handfeel—leaving behind a rich, silky luster.
