Amulets and Good-Luck Charms

Amulets and good-luck charms are not uncommon in Kilims and Nomadic Carpets. Symbols in existence for at least a millennium are the triangular "Muska" and the famous "Eye to ward off evil". Often, artists embroider pearls or small pieces of fabric into the Kilim for luck and protection.
