Kilim Caucasus. Kazakh Type. Circa 1900. 270 X 107 Cm
Superb and expressive Caucasian kilim with Kazakh motifs. This piece features a composition highly characteristic of the ancient weavings of the South Caucasus, Azerbaijan and Armenia.
The lexical field of its motifs revolves around protection, strength and fertility.
The piece is ultra-graphic and highly decorative. Organized in successive horizontal bands, this staggered repetition brings rhythm along the longitudinal axis.
The most important motifs represent mirrored ram's horns. These evoke strength and protection. More particularly in the Caucasus, they represent dragons.
At the heart of each of these large motifs are diamond shapes, which are actually motifs linked to protection, the eye against the evil eye.
At each end, triangular motifs form protective barriers and create a visual rhythm.
Masterfully woven wool on wool. Precision, finesse, regularity and suppleness.
Exclusively vegetal colors in perfect harmony.
Circa 1900 or earlier
Perfect, irreproachable condition.
Dim : 270 x 107 cm
