Origin: Caucasus
Date: Third quarter of the 19th century
Dimensions: 176 × 110 cm
Description:
A rare Chichi rug from the Kuba region with a bold split in design: the lower field features two rows of stylized pomegranates, while the upper field introduces hooked medallions — an element virtually unseen in Chichi weavings. This unexpected composition reflects a spirit of unbounded intuition and creative freedom. Framed with vibrant tribal borders and rendered in saturated natural dyes, it speaks to both tradition and artistic departure.
