This very special and ornate kilim rug made in a cream wool with ornate symbology and long fringe on one side, was likely used in a wedding ceremony.
It says to me:
“Protect this union, let life continue”.
Repeated diamond motifs are not only highly protective 💎 but also representative of the womb- cycles of life and regeneration. The shapes endlessly repeating can show the continuity of family.
There is a repeated eight pointed shape or “star of wisdom” within each diamond, which encourages understanding and enlightenment. (I like these 2 concepts hand in hand).
Masculine and feminine symbols alternating together in harmony express balance and union.
