Description
Second half 19th century, 171 x 97 cm, East Caucasus, Shirvan region
The elongated format and the border of calyx-shaped designs, each decorated with two abstract birds, identify this beautiful prayer rug as an Akstafa. The field is covered in a diamond lattice of blue, geometric, abstract leaves, with cruciform blossoms placed at the points of intersection. It encloses flowering plants. The small prayer niche whose arch touches the upper horizontal border contains a comb, and the arch is flanked by two trees resembling skeletons of fish. – Very good condition, original light blue selvedges.
