Scope note
Kazak rugs named after the historical province Loru Pambak, a mountainous region of Armenia that borders Georgia in the western Caucasus. Since ca. 1800, the rugs have been largely produced by Armenians living in this area, although earlier examples may have originated with the Persian Lori or Azeri. The style is distinguished by a central medallion containing a rough cross-shape in which two opposing arms are square with zigzag terminations, and the other two arms are stylized tulips.
