Borjalou Kazak
Late 19th century, 52 x 108 cm, South West Caucasus
The exact purpose of this miniature pile rug woven in a rare horizontal format is unknown. It may have been the face of a mafrash whose remaining sections were flatwoven. The field is hermetically filled with dots and tiny squares, and a central diamond and two elongated honeycomb-shaped hexagons enclosing tree motifs are superimposed on this basic design. The honeycomb motifs and border drawing suggest that this rug belongs to the Borjalou Kazak group. – Slight signs of wear, the corroded brown sections in the border have been partially repiled.
