MIHRAP
Mihrap or praying niche pattern is encountered in all the cultures as the
place of honour for the God or King. For Muslim people, mihrap design, which is
richly decorated with flowers, vases, fountains, is considered as an entrance to
paradise. Although human and animal figures are not easily depicted in the
Muslim faith, we see often birds in the praying niche designs.
SECCADES WITH DOUBLE COLUMNS
These seccade (prayer rugs) where the arch of the mihrap supported by double
columns are encountered in Usak region and in other areas. These seccades which
are wrongly attributed to Ladik are considered as the prototypes of saf rugs
where the prayer niches are put side by side.
