Design: Kilseli or as known with its common name "Sewan"
Kazak, with stylized animals and bold reciprocal arrow head guards, and
with the medallion surronded by latch-hooks, commonly called "running
dogs". The outer border is close in design to those found on some
Caucasian kilims. The straight-sided, octagon-ended medallion is not as
commonly encountered as the wing sided medallion. The hooked edged
motif within the central small white ground medallion is, according to L.
Kerimov, called "wedding table". This suggests that rugs of this design
were once woven for a specific festive occasion, i.e. wedding. |
