Description
The design of this item was inspired by the shapes of a tree. Tree-like ornaments are very popular in carpet weaving and often associated with tree of life. Tree of life represents the connecting link between three world levels of the ancient Orient: paradise, the world of men and the world below. It was believed that these three were held together by a great vertical axis through the center. The idea of depicting the world axis as a tree is very ancient and is found in many art forms besides carpets.
