Qaraqalpaq ( Karakalpak) Amur Darya Tarim, medium sized main rug, 191/148 cm.First q 20thC.This rug has an aura, despite several restaurations of corroded spots, done in the country of origin and with the same vibrant wool and colors. That is fortunate because in this way this remarkable and rare rug will have a deserved and long future.Two small tears, one hardly visible, both secured. The diagonal lattice of stepped diamonds within a bold border is relatively rare in this area and the rug can be attributed to the Aralbay clan. Long pile, and therefore rather a heavy rug for ist dimensions.
