Kazak Rug, South Caucasus, Early 1900s

This 4x7' Kazak rug from the South Caucasus pulses with tribal energy—three commanding medallions stagger across a deep indigo field scattered with spontaneous symbols, quadrants, and zoomorphic figures. The hand-spun wool carries jewel tones that remain remarkably saturated, and the wool warp and weft give it both texture and heft. Rare animal and flower motifs are rendered in bold asymmetry, revealing a weaver’s hand unconcerned with perfection—only spirit.

• Hand-knotted wool on wool foundation
