Antique Kuba rug,
probably Kuba district, East Caucasus, Ca 1820-1850.
A rare and unusual rug with a curious combination of weave and design that
places it somewhere between a Kazak and a Kuba. A rug of great age with an
archaic drawing and a rare main border (note the yellow "eyes" at the top
end only), the entire rug generously open and uncluttered. Ideally a rug
like this should be kept on the wall as an important work of folk art. A
related (in terms of design) rug was shown by P Bausback, Germany, in his
1988 Exhibition catalogue, page 83.
