‘Medallion’ Ushak rugs, one of the most successful types of Anatolian carpets, are characterized by a large central medallion, flanked by quarters of radiant medallions. Depending on the color of the field, we can distinguish specimens with a blue background (rarer) and a red background. The medallion in turn can be indigo, red, blue-emerald and rarely ivory and can have different shapes: round, ogival, compressed or lozenge, as in this case.
