Kilim Motifs
Motifs are derived from symbols that were used in ages gone by to inform, communicate and to convey ideas.

Due to the hidden forces they are believed to imply, their primary purpose may well be psychological rather than aesthetic.
Here is a comprehensive list of commonly used motifs. Please click on the links for variations of each motif and their meanings.
