There is a on going argument in
Caucasian Rug Scholarship. One view that seems to
be in the ascendancy is that most Kazak
rugs are actually woven by Armenians. those
adherents of that view point to crosses such as
this one and suggest it is symbolic of the
Armenian Christian weavers. The other side
adhered to by a decreasing but vocal minority
suggests that no Christians wove and that this
cross is symbolic of nothing.
