A deep madder-red field is anchored by a bold octagonal medallion in gold and ivory at its centre, flanked by smaller star and diamond medallions in navy, teal and gold in this hand-knotted Kazak. Small tribal flowers and hooked figures fill the field, and a broad ivory border, richly packed with geometric blossoms and star motifs, frames the whole. It has the clear, powerful drawing that makes Kazak rugs instantly recognisable.
Hand-knotted in Afghanistan from hand-spun highland wool, the pile is thick, lustrous and hard-wearing. The colours are drawn from natural dyes, so the red glows with abrash and every motif is drawn slightly differently — the honest mark of a genuine one-of-a-kind, hand-made piece.
