Shirvan Kilim This large kilim woven in the Kuba region was purchased from
Bausback by a South German collector in 1977. Five hooked diamonds framed by
white surrounds with boldly stepped outlines are aligned on the central axis
of the midnight blue field. The extra wide, red-ground border contains
designs resembling hourglasses. Many of the design outlines have been
accentuated by brocading. Similar Kuba kilims have been published by
Petsopoulos and Hull. – Slight signs of wear, somewhat reduced ends, minor
repairs, in good overall condition.
