Daghestan A dark blue rectangle containing human and animal figures has been
placed at the centre of a yellow field densely covered in small botehs. Four
tiny human figures have been included in the field design at the sides, two
horsemen are integrated into the star border. Dated 1247 (= 1832 AD), this
carpet, probably made in Daghestan, represents a period of Caucasian
pile-weaving of which little is known as only a small number of examples
survive, thus it constitutes an important reference piece. – Heavy damage
due to age, reduced ends, darned areas.
