Ladik

Style of textiles, particularly handwoven floor coverings, usually in a prayer design and made in or near Lâdik, a town in the Konya Plain of south-central Turkey. Ladik prayer rugs have either a high, stepped arch design or a triple arch with a dominating central portion. In a separate panel above or below the prayer-niche motif, a group of five or more flower stalks project upward from a band of crenellation. Although a few date to the late 18th century, most Ladik carpets were made in the 19th century.
