A beautiful triple medallion carpet possibly woven by a Kurdish group living in the Caucasus mountains. The deep indigo-blue field is filled with various icons in the open areas outside the three medallions. Two borders frame the field, one containing the leaf and calyx design and the other filled with abstract flora and fauna.
