A "Tree of life" Rug at Tokgun Hali
Tokgun Hali & Kilim is a well-known rug and carpet store located in Istanbul in the Sultanahmet area. The Tree of Life motif, deeply rooted in many cultures, represents the connection between the heavens, the earth, and the underworld, symbolizing immortality, growth, and the cyclical nature of life. Woven into the kilim, the Tree of Life often features a central trunk with branches reaching upwards, adorned with leaves, fruits, and flowers, illustrating the nurturing aspects of nature and the endless renewal of life.
