314. A rare and unusual Karabagh Caucasian
314. Provenance: Karabagh, Southern Genje, Caucasus
Size: 290 x 140 cm
Age: Circa 1920
Condtion: Wear in field. Some fading (one colour only) at one end. Some repairs/reweaves other end.
Notes: Very unusual to see the use of animals to this extent. The central, joined medallions contain interesting versions of the 'boteh' (predecessor of our 'Paisley' pattern), which some see as a flame, some as a teardrop. The rug's palette is also interesting - natural indigo, madder, but also the use of a rather 'loud' orange.
