Origin: Caucasus
Date: Last quarter of the 19th century
Dimensions: 265 × 115 cm
Description:
A charming Gendje runner from the southern Caucasus, featuring a dense field of stylized flower motifs blooming across a rich madder red ground. The floral repetition creates a rhythmic, almost meditative visual effect, evoking the calm of a wildflower field. The border is constructed with multicolored triangular panels known as the “dragon’s spine,” and the natural dyes provide vibrant contrast between red, ivory, green, and deep indigo.
