Item Details
Description
mid 19th century, 363 x 195 cm, East Caucasus

This very large Kuba kilim features the design of alternately wide and narrower horizontal stripes that is typical of the provenance. The three midnight blue bands each contain four hexagons enclosing a diamond decorated with long hooks. This device is known as "tarantula" or "spider" gül. Each of the four narrower red-ground bands shows six stepped diamonds with double hooks at their tips that are lined up in a row. – Also known as "pallas", kilims of this kind were used like tapestries in the villages of the Kuba region. They were hung on the walls of homes for decoration and as protection against the cold. The published examples of this group are almost indistinguishable. – A number of holes and darned areas, slight damage to the edges, otherwise in very good condition.
