Product Details
- AHMET DİLER MARC-ANTOINE GALLICEThe rug, which emerged as a miracle in the Near East in the 8000s BC, affected almost all societies from the Balkans to China. This work, which is the product of thirty years of comparative research, reveals the rug symbolism inherited from primitive animism. According to Traveler-Writer Jacques Lacarriere Rugs belong to a world of symbols that resemble medieval coats of arms, including a landscape, a plant, a story, or fears and desires. Fear of death and desire for fertility are encountered in their motifs. To the fertility of the land, to the fertility of women, to the protection of spirits and the sky, to the tolerance of the plant and animal kingdom, silent supplications are read and almost heard. In this financially weak and difficult world where abundance is constantly at stake and hunger is at the door, poverty is compensated by the richness of symbols. From rose to stars, from wolf to dragon, we have vital symbols of the nomadic communities of Anatolia. Those communities that, based on a simple fleece, knew how to reveal these ropes against fate, these textures, and these figures that protect and contain wisdom. Show more
