Shaqaqi Kurd Khordjin, (Shahsavan Confederation likely). It has a wonderful drawing, lustrous wool, and beautiful natural dyes. Rather large knots, but nicely woven. Some natural camel wool in the kelim at one end and in the foundation; as well as small mixed areas of cotton weft. Warps are unbleached natural white sheep wool. size: 66 cm. x 80 cm. Age; before 1850. Though the khordjin is clearly Kurdish, the mixed cotton weft, and use of natural camel also, are typically Shahsavan characteristics, as well as the panel with horses above the medalllion. This, to me, indicates the Shahqaqi, who arrive fairly early during the 19th c. into the southern Caucasus.
