2.1.6. Muska ve Nazar Motif (amulet and evil eye)
The evil eye may be defined as the power of certain people who are believed to have to harm
people, as well as pets, property or even inanimate objects. Geometric triangle motif is the
simplest stylized eye form. In Anatolian weaving, eye motifs are geometric applications of
square, rhombus, rectangle, cross, and star beside the triangle (Erbek, 1982, p. 120-122).

2.1.7. Göz Motif (eye)
Although the human eye has good intentions, it may sometimes be used as a symbol of evil
ones. it is accepted that the only real remedy for the evil effects of the eye is the eye itself
again. The eye motif in the woven works can be seen around hands-on-hips and abundance
motifs (Erbek, 1982, p. 128).

This motif is the stylization of wolf track and wolf mouth. Due to its ability to see in the dark,
the wolf has become the symbol of the sun and light (Erbek, 1982, p. 158).

2.1.9. Çengel Motif

This motif is not only considered as a protection for evil eye but also a symbol of connection
that conveys a relationship between a man and a woman. It is also related to marriage and
fertility (Erbek, 1982, p. 158).
