    96
  • Lot Description:
    A flatwoven ‘soumak’ technique cover, southern Caucasus, late 19th century
    260 x 210 cm
  • Notes:
    This beautiful cover or hanging belongs to a well-documented group with rows of large, stylised dragon motifs. Mythical reptilian creatures play a strong role in Caucasian folk traditions and appear in the designs of classical Caucasian carpets as well as in folk embroideries. The painstaking technique of extra-weft wrapping the entire surface of the weaving has resulted in a supple but firm texture that complements its bold design and rich colour palette.
