Description
Second half 19th century, 218 x 146 cm, Central Caucasus
The sixteen horizontal oblong compartments in changing ground colours contain sixteen large Memling güls with either a star or a hooked diamond at their centres. The arrangement of the eight white compartments, placed at the left or right in an alternating rhythm, determines the way the design is read. Rugs featuring this distinctive design were woven in many areas of the Caucasus, including regions such as Moghan, Shirvan, Karabagh or Kazak. Judging by its structure using red wefts, the Kazak-like weave and the palette, this example was probably made in the surroundings of Elisabethpol, i.e. the Genje area. – Slight signs of age and wear, several repiled sections. Cut sides, replaced selvedges, both ends slightly reduced.
