Borjalou Kazak: A three-compartment Kazak from the Borjalou
group, with the characteristic, extra wide border of interlocked hooked
diamonds that are hermetically meshed and would be a confusing network of
designs without the white hooked vine that defines them. A yellow frame
adorned with rosettes surrounds all three compartments of the field. The
first and third compartments contain a colourfully checked diamond decorated
with green double hooks on a red ground. The green-ground central
compartment shows a white-ground box filled with stars, and drawn with a red
hooked outline – a well-known Karachov motif. – Renewed sides and ends,
various rewoven areas in the pile.
