Description:
This striking Karabagh rug from the village of Khondzoresk features three commanding medallions rendered in the iconic cloud-band motif. At the center of each, solar symbols radiate outward, embraced by sinuous, dragon-like ribbons that sweep across the field. These medallions represent celestial systems—each its own universe in motion. A rich palette of rust, camel, and ivory enhances the spiritual symbolism of energy and cosmic order. Framed by a star-filled border, this rug celebrates the Armenian weavers’ vision of harmony between earth and sky.
