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

 

Note: Style of textiles, particularly floor coverings and prayer rugs, made in or associated with Mudjar, a village near Kirsehir in central Turkey. The rugs are characterizsed by usually having a deep border, an arch motif, and similar to desings of medieval stained-glass windows of European churches. The characteristic design in older examples, from the 19th century, is a prayer niche with a stepped arch crowned by a little turret form that is echoed in the crenellations of a narrow cross panel above. The niche is soft red, pale yellow, or green and may contain a skeleton tree or be perfectly plain except for an edging of small triangular indentations. The green spandrels (spaces between the exterior curves of the arch and the enclosing right angle) display stylized ewers. The broad stripe of the border is composed of varicoloured, carefully detailed squares, reminiscent of tilework, and the soft-blue inner stripe has a diamond pattern.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 一種織品風格,尤指鋪地物及祈禱跪毯。這類織品可能是在穆迪哈爾(Mudjar)當地製作而成,或與當地有所關連。穆迪哈爾位於土耳其中部克爾謝希爾(Kirsehir)鄰近的ㄧ座村莊。穆朱爾地毯的特色在於其通常會擁有較寬的飾邊、一個拱形物圖案以及類似中古世紀歐洲教堂的彩繪玻璃設計。在源自西元十九世紀、較為古老的穆朱爾地毯中,特有的設計圖案為一個帶有梯狀拱形物的祈禱用壁龕。拱形物上方是一座小型的塔樓。塔樓上方有橫貫的窄狀飾條,內有齒狀物圖案;而在齒狀物之間則重複排列著塔樓的圖案。壁龕的顏色可能是淡紅色、淺黃色或綠色,其內可能飾有一棵貧瘠的樹;壁龕也可能十分樸實無華,但是邊緣有著三角形的凹口。位於綠色拱腹(意指拱形物外側曲線與內側直角之間的空間)內飾有風格化的大口水壺。地毯的寬大條狀飾邊是由各種顏色製作而成,並以精細的正方形排列而成,讓人聯想到瓷磚;而內側的淺藍色條狀飾邊上則為菱形圖案。
