Milas (Anatolian Islamic textile styles after Manzikert, Anatolian Islamic styles after Manzikert, ... Styles and Periods (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Style of textiles, particularly floor coverings, handwoven in the neighborhood of Melas, southwestern Turkey, on the Aegean coast. The rugs are characterized as being usually of small size, dating from the 19th century, and having unusually wide borders in relation to their narrow fields. In the prayer rugs, the arch (which indicates the direction of Mecca, the holy city) is straight-sided, with a triangular indentation below it on each side, the local reminiscence of a lobed-arch form used in the Ottoman court prayer rugs of the 16th and 17th centuries. The color scheme is unique among similar carpets: the field is usually a strong red, with yellow and violet together with a light blue that is quite variable owing to uneven dyeing. Examples that predate the use of chemical dyes are considered to be among the most attractive Turkish carpets.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Chinese (traditional) ..... 一種在米拉斯的鄰近地區以手工編織而成的織品風格，通常為鋪地物。米拉斯位於土耳其西南部的愛琴海沿岸。米拉斯地毯發源於西元十九世紀，其特色在於通常為小尺寸，而且有寬大的邊飾，底圖部分則相對狹窄。米拉斯跪毯上的拱形物（通常指示聖城麥加的方向）有著筆直的側邊，而拱形物下方的側邊則有三角形的凹口。這種三角形凹口容易讓人聯想起西元十六、十七世紀的鄂圖曼宮廷跪毯。與類似的地毯相較而言，米拉斯地毯的色彩組合十分獨特，其底色通常為強烈的紅色，搭配黃色、紫羅蘭色及淺藍色；由於染色不均，因而能夠呈現出十分多變的色彩風貌。在尚未運用化學染料製作地毯之前，米拉斯織品被視為是最迷人的土耳其地毯。 |
