Konya Pillow

Pillows are some of the most special forms of art coming out of Central Anatolia despite being in essence not wholly different from what we recognize ourselves as regular pillows. Eye-catching colors and motifs are some of the main features of these pillows and they require some incredibly skillful craftsmanship to perfect their details. They can be used for the obvious as well as purely for decorative purposes and are among the most valuable of the Turkish handicrafts.
