JBOC attribution Oriental Rug > Caucasian Rugs > Kuba Rugs
The Kuba or Shirvan Attribution: Compare this rug to Ulrich Schurmann's Caucasian Rugs plate 96. Schurmann suggested that while these are traditionally attributed to Kuba they are more properly attributed to North Shirvan. Ian Bennett attributed a similar rug to Kuba, Oriental Rugs Volume 1 Caucasian plate 309. In looking over his book I do not see him attribute anything terribly similar to Shirvan. Eiland & Eiland attribute a similar rug to Baku Oriental Rugs A Complete Guide plate 257. Note: To further a long term research project I am collecting data. When a piece such as this may be of interest to others I have decided to share my notes prior to culmination of the project. Any additions, information, or corrections, would be appreciated.
