Shirvan Prayer Rug
Dated 1320 AH = 1903 AD, 179 x 94 cm, East Caucasus
This very finely woven, white-ground Shirvan prayer rug shows a precisely drawn diamond lattice design enclosing large palmettes. Two red hands ("Hand of Fatima"), two combs and many small animals are depicted next to the bridge-shaped arch positioned high up. The long and narrow format of this group clearly deviates from other prayer rugs made in the Shirvan area. – Good condition, original finishes all around, slight damage to the selvedge at the bottom left.
GANS-RUEDIN, ERWIN, Orientteppiche des 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts. München 1975, Tf. S.183
