(5X8). Hand-Knotted Caucasian Revival Wool Pile Rug Afghan or Pakistani Kazak / Shirvan style hand-knotted pile rug from the late 20th or early 21st century, designed to revive classical 19th-century Caucasian tribal patterns
Key Design & Style Features
- Three-Medallion Layout: The golden-ochre field features three large geometric medallions in the center. The central ivory octagon is flanked by two yellow starburst octagons. This draws directly from 19th-century tribal Karachov and Chajli traditions.
- Stylized Tree of Life: Four blue, branched geometric structures flank the main medallions. They represent stylized ancient trees, surrounded by small geometric flower heads and multi-colored tribal icons.
- Complex Geometric Borders: The main framing border track displays a repeating geometric calyx or cup motif on a dark indigo ground, flanked by thin secondary guard stripes.
- Hand-Spun Wool Sheen: The rich, uniform saturation of the ochre and teal tones points to the use of high-grade hand-spun wool and high-quality dyes.
