Kazak

Early twentieth century finely executed eagle or turtle design Kazak probably woven by Armenian weavers as indicated by the abundance of images of eternity together with the five point quincunx and some carefully hidden crosses. The multiple pinwheels are a delight and the dotted ground covering evovatice of the karapchov design. The dragon s shapes are very carefully and differently bound within the three medallions and the complex four phase border is very well achieved again reminiscing the traditions of remote nineteenth century Kazak weaving. The colour blend is equally complex and the whole piece just dances.
