Zakatale
The red abrashed field contains six horizontal rows
of three trees each; growing from bowls, they alternate in colour between
yellow and blue. The white-ground border shows a rare variation of a
meandering vine reciprocally interlocked in a complex way. The coarse weave
and resulting angular drawing, the specific colours and the design – a type
unknown in other Caucasian rugs – mean this piece falls into the group of
village rugs from the Zakatale region, situated in the north west of what is
now the Republic of Azerbaijan. – Reknotted finishes, several restored
areas, good overall condition.

243 x 116 cm
