 The composition of the central field of Chukhanly carpet has got a lot similarity with Sor-Sor carpets (also Shirvan group). But it differs from “Sor-Sor” with its special elements-“Buta”. The decoration of this “Buta” s, which is located in the central field, is complex. The leaves that come out from the sides of “Buta”, strengthen decorative effect of the carpet.  

Usually for the carpets with the pattern of Buta, the colors are distributed unsystematically.

But in Chukhanly carpets, the color of these elements is uniform on a diagonal way. That is one of the main artistic features of this carpet.  

 

The border ornaments, such as “Horuk”, “Kosa” which is characteristic to Shirvan carpets, are applied also for Chukhanly carpets.

It’s especially necessary to mention that ancient Azerbaijani carpets, such as Mugan and Gobystan rendered significant influence on carpets “Chukhanly”.
