The city of Kars is located in ancient Eastern Armenia where a large Armenian community made rugs and kilims. In the 9th and 10th centuries, it was an important city in the Kingdom of Armenia. The region of Yerevan and Kars is credited with the 'dragon rugs'. The patterns are similar to those of Caucasian rugs from Armenia and Georgia. The weaving tradition is ancient. The rugs are most often woven and knotted by Armenians, in small workshops or at home. Kars rugs are called 'Turkish Kazak' or 'Kazak Kars'.

This rug features two traditional medallions surrounded by several borders. A border on a beige background (comb pattern?) is framed by two smaller borders with Medes star patterns. The outer border uses the "aleh abassi" or "tulip border" pattern.
