Karaja Kelleh The medallions that are typical of the region have been
placed along the central axis of the midnight blue field and embedded into a
lattice of highly abstract flowering twigs. The ornamentation and colour
scheme of the border are strongly reminiscent of Bijar carpets, suggesting
that this carpet was woven by Kurds in the Karaja region of Persian
Azerbaijan. Replaced selvedges, somewhat reduced ends. Slight signs of wear
and minor restored areas.

407 x 140 cm
