This captivating hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Yastik rug showcases a timeless triple compartmental design, with each panel adorned with a bold and intricate dragon motif. The dragon, revered in Anatolian culture as a powerful guardian of treasures, secrets, and the tree of life, dominates the composition with its commanding presence. The motifs are meticulously woven in warm, rustic earth tones, which imbue the rug with an organic and grounded aesthetic, perfect for those who appreciate the depth of traditional symbolism.
