Design: Lori-Pambak is the name of a historical region in the
Western Transcaucasia. The indigenous population was mainly consisted of
nomadic tribes, such as Borchalis, Karapapakhs, Kipchaks and Kazaks. These
tribes produced a group of colorful rugs, many of which have a distinctive
quatrefoil medallion, as seen in our example. This medallion is derived
from an early animal totemic symbol representing pairs of animals and
birds.
The shaded madder red field with this large central medallion
flanked by various polychrome tribal ornaments on each side, in an ivory
main border of stylized "serrated leaves alternating with tulips (or
candles)" motif between indigo blue polychrome diamond shaped minor
borders and outer barber pole stripes
The weaving center of this type of rugs is Lambali village.
