Gendje, known as Elizabethpol under the Tzars, but today, known as Kirovabad. It is situated between the Caucasian weaving areas of Kazak, Karabagh and Shirvan.
This beautiful little Gendje prayer-rug has a few ''typical'' Gendje featurs such as the diagonal motifs in the field and the interesting main border design with its conjoined octagons. The colours in the main border are simply stunning as is the very unusual, relatively plain mihrab in ivory.
Made circa 1880, the rug is in good overall condition, albeit with evenly-low pile and a few minor reweaves.
Size: 1.45m x 0.82m (4'' 9'' x 2'' 8'').
