Late 19th century, 302 x 156 cm, South East Caucasus, Baku region

This finely woven kilim presenting horizontal stripes of varying widths in mellow harmonious colours is probably a product of the Tat tribes who lived in the Baku region and the Absheron Peninsula. Stripes patterned with slanting red and white rhomboids and stripes of reciprocal stepped triangles alternate with monochrome undecorated bands. Such covers are called \"pallas\"" by the Tat. – Very good condition."
