Item Details

Description

Second half 19th century, 196 x 88 cm, South East Caucasus

Unlike most Caucasian prayer rugs which are almost square in format, Akstafa prayer rugs were always woven in a long and narrow format – a feature by which they are easily identified. The dark blue field of this beautiful antique example is densely filled with hexagons and hooked diamonds enclosed within a diamond lattice of serrated white leaves. The tall, towering mihrab has been placed at the very top end of the field. The white-ground border contains arrowheads which are linked to form a chain. – Slight signs of age and wear, original finishes all around. Good overall condition.
