Bijov Sumakh
second half 19th century, 295 x 114 cm, East Caucasus, Kuba
This sumakh from the Kuba region features a Bijov field design that occurs in almost identical form in the pile rugs of the provenance. However, the flatweaving technique makes the design of this sumakh appear more square and angular. The rare main border displays palmettes, Talish rosettes, blossoms, leaves and abstract animals.
