Detail of a Mucur, 20th century carpet.

In Mucur (Central-Anatolia, 20 km west of Kırşehir) - almost exclusively – ‘seccade’ (prayer carpets) are knotted. The knotting is medium fine (1200-2400 knots per square decimetre); the pile is soft, shining wool. Typical of the designs of Mucur carpets are the interlaid prayer niches (well recognizable in this picture).
