Anotations

Scope note:

Caucasus floor coverings woven in the vicinity of Quba in northern Azerbaijan, with major varieties woven near the towns of Perepedil, Divichi, Konaghend, Zejwa, Karagashli, and Kusary. They are as a group the most finely knotted Caucasian rugs. The Perepedil shows a highly geometrized floral design on a blue or ivory field. The Konaghend most frequently features a large central medallion. The Karagashli usually contains isolated elements from the Persian avshan "sprig" or harshang "crab" designs. The most common type of large, red-field Caucasian soumak rug was woven in the nearby town of Kusary.
