About the Item
A striking early 20th-century Kazak prayer rug, this piece showcases the bold geometric artistry and rich color palette characteristic of Caucasian tribal weaving. At its heart, a central stylized floral medallion blooms within a field teeming with intricate floral motifs, each woven with symbolic meaning. The composition is framed by a strong geometric border, featuring a dynamic zigzag stripe interwoven with stepped pyramid shapes, a design often associated with protection and spiritual ascent.
Woven in crimson, varying shades of indigo, green, and white wool, the rug’s natural dyes have mellowed beautifully over time, enhancing its depth and character. Kazak prayer rugs, traditionally woven by nomadic and village artisans, were not only used in daily worship but also valued as expressions of cultural identity and artistry. With its striking balance of floral and geometric elements, this rug remains a timeless testament to the enduring beauty of Caucasian weaving traditions.
