Summary

Description
English: Armenian rug from Kazak province of Armenian SSR. Inscription on the rug:

«Inscription: Atamian Ghu(kas) died at age 62 in 1801»

Rugs with a red-blue-white color scheme are characteristic of a region somewhat north and east of Yerevan in the Kazak region of Armenian SSR. The design on this rug is probably the most common among the several types that are woven in this area. Unlike many Kazak designs, however, the examples of this design that have appeared all show such a similar palette and structure that one is tempted to think they were produced in only one village or group of villages. The flowers are so stylized it is impossible to say how the design evolved, although the arrangement of the central red lozenge and the two blue/green triangles at their ends suggests that it may have developed from a classic medallion and anchor format, which consists of a central lozenge with separate smaller triangular forms above and below the points of the lozenge.
Date No later 1801
