Description
Size: 3 ft 5 in x 5 ft 8 in (1.04 m x 1.73 m) - Kuba Rug, Caucasus, Late 19th Century - This decorative antique Kuba rug has a strong composition with monumental multi-part borders and a diminutive field that incorporates rich colors and powerful iconographic motifs. The maize yellow field features a modular arabesque built from an assemblage of bracketed leaflets, protective eye symbols, berekets, fetter motifs and compound eight-pointed stars. This vibrant selection of antique tribal symbols is surrounded by decorative borders. Lozenge-filled inner borders lead to striped basket-weave guardbands and main borders. Each stepped lozenge figure featured in the main borders is enhanced by checkered embellishments and paired with concentric split-lozenge figures. Checkered guardbands and contrasting outlines emphasize the graphic tribal style of this expressive antique Caucasian Kuba rug.
