How To “Read” An Oriental Rug

Mosque Lamp

Did you know Rugs and carpets used in mosques often have motifs like the Kaaba (in Mecca), a mosque lamp (symbolic of Allah), a water basin (symbolizing of ritual ablution) and sometimes a mountain (symbolically elevating the worshipper) woven into them.

Above is a prime example of an antique Turkish prayer rug with a mosque lamp motif.  (Note the lamps hanging in the background).
