1317 AH - 1899/1900 AD dated rare antique Kuba rug, Southern
Lowland Kuba Region or Khyzy District. Azerbaijan. 4ft 3in X 9ft 5in
This piece clearly exemplifies the enrapturing artistry that developed among
the tribespeople throughout the Caucasus mountain range. On first glance,
the three strong asymmetrical medallions and fan-shaped anchors are
riveting. However, one soon realizes the entire field of this jubilant area
size is fascinating. Two women in traditional dress, mythical birds,
two-headed horse-like creatures, and a dense sprinkling of multitudinous
tribal symbols and motifs are exuberantly portrayed. Claremont Rugs
