Motif: Protective Amulet (muska)
Have you ever felt the weight of an unseen gaze, or sensed an energy that felt... off? Across ancient cultures, a powerful belief persists: the 'Evil Eye' (known as 'Nazar' in many traditions), a malevolent glance believed to bring misfortune, injury, or even illness.
But fear not, for humanity has long woven powerful shields against such forces! From the iconic shimmering blue beads that deflect ill will, to humble wild mustard seeds and garlic, countless objects have served as silent guardians, absorbing negativity and protecting their bearers.
Then there's the 'Muska', the amulet; a sacred written charm, often carried discreetly in a triangular case. It's believed to be imbued with spiritual and magical power, acting as a personal protector, safeguarding its possessor from dangerous external influences.
At Sinasos Rugs, we are captivated by these timeless traditions. Many of our vintage rugs are more than just beautiful floor coverings; they are woven with these very protective motifs.
