Kazak: Judging by its palette and ornamentation, this village rug from the
Kazak region, woven in a rare long format, belongs to the Fachralo group.

decorated with hooked vines and palmettes, are lined up along the central
axis of the sea-green field; further diamonds, polygons and scattered motifs
are distributed around them. Hooked diamonds also adorn the white-ground
main border. – Both ends somewhat reduced, repairs to the original selvedges
in places, minor restored areas.
