Curator's Notes
- A variation of motifs—simple, tribal, bold, and colorful—all hailing from the Anatolian region (modern-day Turkey)
- Lined with a repeating set of three medallions to create multiple points of visual interest and direction
- An absolute classic, diamond-based designs create a beautiful and dynamic field of geometric shapes
- A simple, but classic design—zig-zag patterns represent water as a vital element in life
- A series of geometrically stylized waves represents water—a vital element of life
- Just like a modern-day barber's pole, this pattern features alternating slanted stripes

Milas is a major center for weaving in western Turkey—rugs from this region can be recognized by their fascinating geometric patterns.
