Vintage Anatolian Barak Kilim 145x266 cm.

Barak is a small town in the Kaş region in the city of Antalya and specific to this region it has been one of the important kilim centers for the world due to its nomadic population of the Taurus Mountain and their weaving tradition, that has lasted for generations.

The pattern and symbols on kilims always have special meanings. Most of them are heritages from Shamanic roots of Turks. The nomadic lifestyle of the people living within flat-weaving communities has remained close to nature. Kilims functioned as an expression of the hopes and wishes of the weaver in the form of motifs and symbolic talismans. They usually stand for protection against 'evil eye', abundance, fertility and unity of the lovers.

Pure wool with no chemical process is a perfect element for cleaning the negative energy in the environment.
