Şarköy - Carpet - 150 cm - 101 cm - Bridal Kilim

Authentic bridal kilim, made for personal use.
In the middle, woven with white wool, are the two names: Çelik and Emine.
Celik is a man's name, meaning iron-strong.
Emine means faithful, loyal.
With a Tree of Life in the middle.
Natural plant-based dyes used.

Probably Turkish-speaking people from the Rhodope Mountains.
Often these people do not even speak Bulgarian.

This kilim, as an ethnographic folk-art object, is best displayed on the wall.
That was also often its original use.
