Caucasian rug designs
All designs are geometrical, except the Kara bagh, with its floral motifs; the Dragon Kuba with its dragons;
the Talish with its plain field;
the Baku (Hieler) with its cone field;
the tapestry type Soumac (verne) and Sileh Kelims; the Dagestan with its Prayer rug or diagonal stripes;
the Sejur with its 'X';
the Chi-Chi with its band border and medallion field;
the Erivan with its cotton foundation; the Kazak with its long pile and large, bold, primitive design—eleven out of fourteen classifications with outstanding differences.
