Sarköy - Kelim - 180 cm - 154 cm

Sarköy is the name of a harbor town on the Sea of Marmara in northwest Turkey. Kilims with this name are made by Bulgarian Turks. Until the early 20th century Bulgaria was still part of the Ottoman Empire. After the collapse of this Empire, many Turkic-speaking Bulgarians settled in northwest Turkey. In the borders, the symbol of the Primordial Goddess is depicted repeatedly, a fertility wish. Central to the Primordial Goddess, there is a star, the wish to marry. In the central field, more wishes and protection signs such as two connected triangles; the wish for unity, long togetherness and protection of the family. Abstract birds stand for bearers of good news. The wavy lines between the rows of hexagons symbolize flowing water, even more prosperity and fertility, now in the form of the yield from the land and the livestock.
