Kula (Anatolian Islamic textile style) (Anatolian Islamic textile styles after Manzikert, Anatolian Islamic styles after Manzikert, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name))

 

Note: Style of textiles, particularly floor coverings (often prayer rugs), handwoven in Kula, a town east of Izmir in western Turkey, popular with collectors in the 19th century and beyond. The designs are often characterized by a low, straight-sided arch (indicating the direction of Mecca), columnar sides of the prayer niche often comprising broad, ribbonlike pendant forms, and often having elaborate central motifs. Early Kula prayer rugs have strong reds and blues, but in most later examples the red has been exchanged for an assortment of muddy browns and yellows.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 一種織品風格,尤指鋪地物(通常為祈禱跪毯)。此類織品是在庫拉當地以手工編織而成,從西元十九世紀起就是收藏家所愛。庫拉是位於土耳其西部伊茲米爾(Izmir)東邊的一個城鎮。庫拉跪毯的特色在於,其設計圖案通常為一座低矮、側邊筆直的拱形物(用來指示麥加的方向);而祈禱壁龕的圓柱側邊通常包含了寬的緞帶狀垂飾。跪毯的中央則通常有著製作精美的圖案。早期的庫拉地毯採用強烈的紅色與藍色,但是在大多數較晚期的地毯中,則以由各式各樣渾濁的棕色與黃色來取代紅色。
