Summary/Abstract: The text attempts to analyze a group of smooth-woven rugs from the collection of the NationalEthnographic Museum. Originating from North-Eastern Bulgaria, probably made by Turkish immigrants, these products are in contrast with the development of carpet making in our country. Dedicated to the smaller carpets, foreign publications and catalogues also mention the environment or place of use. Bulgarian researchers rarely emphasize this question from the topic. After a systematic description of the examples in the National Ethnographic Museum, two hypotheses have been proposed regarding the purpose – a pillow cover or a prayer mat. The analysis takes into account the conceptual, territorial and time frames. The assessment of reference points takes into consideration the aspects of creed, design and manufacture.
