Size (ft): 4'11"x6'2"
Area: 2.88 m2
Density: 170 000 knots per square meter
Dyes: 100% natural dyes: madder, spurge / euphorbia, indigo,
pomegranate rinds
Materials: Handcarded and handspun wool for pile, wool warps and
cotton wefts
Hand knotted in Azerbaijan
Design: Three conjoined sky blue and golden yellow diamond medallions
surrounded by madder red gubbas (dome) are ranged the length of an azure
field sparsely embellished with green-ivory cruciform-patterned rectangles;
a polychrome interlock bird design fills the golden main border, flanked
between red and dark blue floral-repeat minor borders. A striking ‘op art’
effect in the crisp medallion designs is pleasingly balanced by the
attractive range of colours deployed in the main interlock border. Latif
Kerimov attributes an item with a closely related border approach and a
similar conjoined-medallion field to the village of Arjiman in Shirvan
district of Azerbaijan. |
