介绍（中）	这种地毯之所以得名，是因为安纳托利亚西部乌沙克地区的商业编织者喜欢这种星形奖章。它是著名的乌沙克奖章地毯的变体。大多数Ushak地毯都很容易被其特有的调色板所识别，通常仅限于一些色调，如浓郁的红色、深蓝色和黄色，并以明亮的白色和充满活力的绿色为亮点。四叶形设计的无限重复图案的灵感可以在其他媒介中找到，比如同一地区的建筑瓷砖，它通常以复杂的交错设计为特色。类似的构图，对称设计的花卉图案，基于分裂的棕榈、风格化的莲花和其他花卉图案，这些图案通常填充着卡通式的形状，也从手稿中得知，并出现在豪华的书籍装帧和发光的页面上。这种设计不仅在奥斯曼世界的媒体上发展起来，而且还延伸到了欧洲。这种地毯是为商业目的大量生产的。特别是在16世纪，乌沙克是指定用于欧洲市场的主要地毯生产中心之一。这个例子的大尺寸和精细的编织图案表明，它是在乌沙克区的一个大型城镇作坊中制作的。
介绍（英）	The star-like medallions that give this type of carpet its name were a design favored by commercial weavers of the Ushak district of western Anatolia. It is a variation of the famous Ushak medallion carpets. Most Ushak carpets are easily recognizable by their characteristic color palette, often limited to a few tones such as rich red, dark blue, and yellow, highlighted with touches of bright white and vibrant green. The inspiration for the infinite repeating pattern of the quatrefoil design are to be found in other media, such as the architectural tilework of the same region, which often features complex interlacing designs. Similar compositions with symmetrically designed floral patterns, based on split-palmettes, stylized lotus and other floral motifs that often fill cartouche-like shapes, are also known from manuscripts and appear on luxurious book bindings and illuminated pages. Such designs not only developed across media in the Ottoman world, but also extended beyond it to Europe. Such carpets were produced for commercial purposes in higher quantities. Specifically during the sixteenth century Ushak was one of the leading production centers for carpets designated for the European market. The large size and refined woven pattern of this example, suggest that it was made in a large town workshop in the Ushak district.
