a-shirvan-long-rug

A Shirvan Long Rug, East Caucasus, late 19th C, on a highly desirable undyed white wool field. The main iconography probably represents stylized flowers laid out across the entire visible surface, with nave filler elements interspersed to add charm and spontaneity to the overall composition. Crabs fill the major border, surrounding by the classic Shirvan or Kuba alternating flower motif minors.
