Colours 7) red, red-brown, yellow, green, mid-blue, ivory, grey. DescriptionRows of botehs (bushes?) arranged horizontally across the
red field, the background has a wide abrash (variation of tone). The inner
border is found often in Caucasian rugs whereas the main border more often
from Turkey.
Condition Good, there has been some repiling in the centre where
the pile is low in places the borders are in thick pile. There has been
some reweaving at each end to the outer guard stripe.
CommentaryA very attractive little rug in warm colours with the
botehs "dancing" in the field. The construction is definitely Kurdish
although the design shows Turkish, NW Persian, and Caucasian influences. It
could have originated in the Southern Caucasus. References
