column Ladik en

Style of prayer rugs that, regardless of whether or not they actually come from Lâdik, share a motif derived from a 16th-century Ottoman court design, consisting of three arches of unequal height supported upon slender columns and surmounted by a panel as described earlier. Most column Ladiks have been found in Europe, and some possibly were made in the Balkans in the 17th and 18th centuries. A less sophisticated, more recent type, with bolder coloring, comes from the nearby city of Konya.
