Description
Second half 19th century, 195 x 93 cm, South West Caucasus
A white-ground Akstafa prayer rug in the characteristic long and narrow format. The field design consists of angular botehs arranged in offset rows; the bridge-shaped arch enclosing a comb motif has been placed high up and touches the horizontal border. The black-brown main border displays an ascending design of triangles in diverging colours aligned vertically and each decorated with two bird’s heads. – Slight signs of age and wear, one major repair at the centre and several minor repairs. Uniformly low pile. Slightly reduced at the bottom, remains of the original kilim survive at the top.
