DESCRIPTION
In this 19th century Caucasian weaving, the
influence of Kurdish 'Garden' carpets of the 18th
century can be clearly seen. In particular, the
'grid' arrangements of stylised flowerheads
flanking the column of medallions is clearly
derived from this earlier group, and the colours
have much in common with the Kurdish palette of
North West Persia. These elements make it
probable that this rug pre-dates the main corpus
of Akstafa runners.
