CENTRAL ANATOLIA, FIRST HALF 19TH CENTURY

A row of concentric multicoloured hooked lozenges, each in a separate panel is rather unusual in Anatolian runners. More common is a design either with interlocked concentric lozenges without panels or panels with one lozenge which sometimes issues a smaller one (see W. Brüggemann and H. Böhmer: Teppiche der Bauern und Nomaden in Anatolien, Hannover, 1980, p135, pl.5, and p.131, pl.3).
