APPROX 20-35 YR. OLD TURKISH HAND KNOTTED WOOL RUG, 3' x 5': This attractive prayer rug has a red/rust field with two very stylized trees of life formed with white trunks on which are found blue and white opposing triangles that together form another triangle. There are blue ''trees'' at top and bottom of the mihrab (prayer niche) and on either side at the top of the niche. The outline of the niche is formed by an ivory band with diamonds and an outer blue running dog or latch hook pattern. The main border has an interesting design composed of four serrated leaves that come together to form a flower. There is an antique Turkish Bergama in the Berlin Museums collection with the same border. Condition is good except for little fringe left.
