Zakatale
A small Zakatale in dark colours. The field, whose
ground colour alternates between beige, dusky pink, earth brown, red-brown
and indigo blue, has an unconventional design of amulets, checked box
shapes, diamonds and a large hook shape at the lower end, as well as a row
of abstract human figures. The boxes in the red-ground main border, divided
into eight segments, are reminiscent of the designs seen in Talish carpets.
– Both ends repiled, otherwise well preserved.
Origin: Central Caucasus
Size: 165 x 97 cm
Age: Late 19th century
Estimate: 2.400,00 €
