The Ankara carpet is a tribal-inspired hand-knotted rug, its sage-green field scattered with small floral and star medallions in purple, orange, and cream, framed by a bold mustard-yellow border with terracotta hook motifs. The name recalls Ankara, Turkey's capital and a crossroads of Anatolian weaving traditions.Product Details Construction: Hand Knotted Material: Wool Colour: Multicolor Pattern: Scattered tribal medallions with sunburst border Style: Traditional, Anatolian Tribal Made in: Bhadohi, Uttar Pradesh, India Ankara carries a livelier, more colourful register than the softest Oushaks — small, scattered medallions rather than one dominant centrepiece, bordered by a graphic hook-and-diamond pattern typical of Anatolian tribal weaving.
