19th century

Sold by Aaron Nejad Carpets and Rugs

Description

This beautiful jajim was probably woven by the Kurds of Azerbaijan and dates to the end of the 19th century. The workmanship and materials are amazing, including soft wool and wonderful natural dyes. Note the lovely shades of green, yellow, terracotta, white and indigo blue. But it is the array of enigmatic motifs, replete with primitive symbolism, which catch the eye and make this piece so special. Jajims were usually woven for domestic use, to wrap up and store personal effects. The designs were intended to protect the contents and ward off the evil eye. Given the conditions under which this piece was used, it has survived in excellent condition and has recently been professionally cleaned. Today this lovely tribal masterpiece would enhance many decorative setting, as a wall hanging, or as a cover for a bed or other furnishings.
