Major Spring Auction
Auction date: Saturday 23. May 2009 at 03 PM
Lot: 111
A three-compartment Kazak with a narrow field, framed by a double band woven
in a checkerboard design. The three massive box shapes with hooked outlines
are reminiscent of certain Central Asian güls. It is not possible to make an
ad hoc attribution to one of the established Kazak groups, such as the Lori
Pambak, Sevan, etc. However, its narrow format and stylistic features
(checkerboard bands, box güls) make the piece an obvious relative of
Karachovs. – Preserved with a high pile, good condition with original side
and end finishes.
