Origin: Caucasus
Date: Last quarter of the 19th century
Dimensions: 165 × 100 cm
Description:
This Shirvan prayer rug opens with a luminous ivory mihrab, its angular lines forming a quiet architectural frame above a finely drawn lattice field. Small, jewel-like octagons glow within the network of diagonal lines, shifting in color from madder red to soft blues and golds. Scattered tiny animal forms add intimate moments of life to the composition.
The bold star-filled border encircles the rug like a ring of guiding lights, its repeating bursts of color echoing the rhythm of the field. A prayer rug that feels both serene and intricately alive—an elegant Shirvan balance of clarity, pattern, and quiet devotion.
