Caucasian Azerbaijan rug fragment of ' Shah Savan ' design • circa 1860

117 x 103cm

The fragment is lined onto an old linen mount. This design is encountered on flat woven utilitarian bags and portmanteaus of the region concurrent with the making of this rug. The makers were probably Azaris in the south of Azerbaijan possibly around Talish / Talysh who interacted with the semi migratory Shah San . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talysh_people
