Стр. 147 - Azərbaycan xalçaları

147
The date 1282 AH appears at the top
of the middle field of this carpet. Al-
though this carpet has a simple compo-
sitional structure, it is distinguished by
its unique original design.
The decoration of the red background
middle field consists of medium-sized
rectangular motifs and eight-petal flow-
ers in the center and small rectangular
motifs and eight-petal flowers at the top
and bottom.
Red goshabuynuz (double-horned)
motifs are depicted inside the yellow
background medallion in the center, but
inside the blue medallion at the top and
the green medallion at the bottom, yel-
low goshabuynuz motifs are depicted.
The geometric medallion in the center is
surrounded with white and red sichan-
dishi (mouse teeth) on the outside and
red and navy blue zigzag motifs on the
inside. The geometric medallions at the
top and bottom are surrounded with
red, white, and navy blue sichandishi.
There are stylized navy blue uzungulag
(donkey) images in the bottom corners
of the middle field. The middle field is
enclosed with a green background bor-
der designed using yellow, red, and
white. The border is narrower at the
top and bottom. Inside the borders on
the right and left, there are jutbuynuz
(double-horned) motifs designed with
red, yellow, and white on the inside.
Yellow and white rhombic elements are
depicted in the empty spaces of the bor-
der between these motifs. The narrow
green border at the top and bottom is
decorated with red, white, and yellow
rhombic elements with stepped edges.
These elements are small in size. The jut-
buynuz and stepped motifs depicted on
the green border reinforce the general
and dynamic nature of the composition.
The red background border of the carpet
is designed with eight-petal flowers. The
flowers are adorned using navy blue,
yellow, and white. Barely-noticeable
square elements decorate the petals. The
white background border of the carpet
is decorated with arrow-like and rhom-
boid elements decorated in navy blue,
green, and red and arranged one after
the other. Inside this white background
border, rhombic elements are depicted.
The borders are surrounded with red,
yellow, and white sichandishi. They are
completed with brown su (water).
