Description
This striking flat-weave or kilim was woven by the weavers of Avar in the environs of Daghestan and dated 1939 in both the Solar and Islamic calendars in the top left and right areas of the blue field.The glowing indigo-blue ground contains two vertical rows of what appears to be large zoomorphic shapes and surrounded by stylised birds and animals. What is particularly stunning is the main soft-cream border with its depiction of a continuous, powerful 'birds-heads' design in red.
The tiny inscription in the top border reads in Azeri 'ajam' which means 'hungry'!
The flat-weaves or kilims of Avar are rare and this fabulous piece is in excellent, complete condition.
Size: 3.05 x 1.55m (10' 0" x 5' 1").
