.It does not seem reasonable to this writer to assume that every rug with the characteristic Lori Pambak central medallion should automatically be called Lori Pambak. This rug to the right Lori Pambak Kazak circa 1890 surfaced at a Sotheby's auction last year and was attributed to Lori Pambak. I suggest here that the Kiamagly area near Lambalo in Gardabani is more appropriate.
