Kuba Karagashli rug in a dark blue ground Code: KUKAR01J Age: ~1870-1880 Size: 107x154cm Size (ft): 3'6"x5'0" Structure: wool pile, ivory wool warps and ivory wool wefts. Knots: Gördes (Turkish, symmetrical) Description: The dark blue field contains three serrated/saw-edged medallions / lozenges (flame, gubba, gubpa) which are related by some authors to ancient Egyptian and Persian Royal insignia. Four bridge shaped stepped arches between the lozenges can be seen in the Victoria and Albert Museum Kuba rug. This motif can also be interpreted as elongated two headed dragons or birds. By some authors, the motif is seen as a stepped prayer niche.
