PITRAK
The use of the cocklebur motif in Anatolia originated as a stylized representation of the cocklebur plant. This motif was used both as a protective amulet to ward off evil eyes and as a symbol of abundance, often embroidered on flour sacks.

ANATOLIAN MOTIF COLLECTION
In this series, we examined the most frequently used motifs from Anatolia from past to present, especially carpet and kilim patterns, as well as various sources. Because each motif has a wide variety of interpretations, we spent considerable time selecting the most suitable motifs for the design.
Motifs associated with birth and procreation include the hands on hips, ram's horn, abundance, human, hair tie, earrings, boukagi, chest, love and union, and star motifs. Motifs symbolizing life include the waterway, cocklebur, finger and comb, amulet and amulet, eye, cross, hook, snake and dragon, scorpion, wolf's mouth, and tree of life.

We are delighted to help preserve these important motifs. We extend our sincere gratitude to Mine Erbek, author of the book Anatolian Motifs from Çatalhöyük to the Present, which has been our most valuable resource.
