First half 19th century, 135 x 112 cm, East Caucasus, Kuba region

This small Chichi presents an immaculately drawn Khyrdagyd repeat in the cobalt blue field. The dark brown main border shows a white kufic vine; two grass-green secondary borders. A very fine weave, first-rate colours. – Obvious signs of age and wear, low pile. New overcasting along the sides, both ends somewhat reduced.
