Item Details
Description
Late 19th century, 186 x 124 cm, East Caucasus

This white-ground Shirvan prayer rug is larger than is usual in this group. A hexagonal lattice of serrated leaves filled with flowering plants covers the field below the bridge-shaped mihrab arch, which is positioned so far at the top that its apex touches the horizontal border. Small plants are aligned in a row above the arch. The arch contains a large anchor-like shape as well as a comb which often occurs in prayer rugs as a symbol of purification. The red main border is decorated with abstract S-shaped animals. – Good condition, original selvedges.
