Caucasian Shirvan / Prayer Rug ("Gold Field & Mihrab Niche Grid")

This magnificent Caucasian prayer rug showcases exquisite geometric precision and archaic tribal symbolism characteristic of eastern Caucasian weaving traditions. Set against a luminous, warm gold-tan field, the composition features an architectural prayer arch (mihrab) at the upper end, while the entire central field and niche are densely filled with a regularized grid of small, polychrome octagonal cartouches and stylized floral amulets. Framing the intricate central field is a broad, multi-tiered border system headlined by a rich terracotta-red main track featuring repeating geometric star motifs and traditional multi-color guard bands.

The sophisticated color palette combines a luminous gold-tan ground with deep terracotta red, navy blue, ivory, and soft blue accents. Hand-knotted from high-grade, hand-spun wool with exceptional motif clarity and finished with short woolen fringes, this piece delivers remarkable historical depth, architectural elegance, and graphic modernity for high-end interior spaces.
