Georgian Pardaghy (cover)

Rarely seen in the West this is a prime example of a Georgian Pardaghy. As a source I cite Wright, Richard. Wertime, John. Caucasian Carpets and Covers. They attribute these flatweaves to the Georgians and other unspecified Paleo-Caucasian peoples. They also show a very similar example in use in Tiflis in 1910 (above).
