This is a large stellar medallion as \"\u003cem\u003eLesghi stars\u003c\/em\u003e\" rug from the 19th century, Kuba region, Caucasus area. \u003cem\u003eLesghistan\u003c\/em\u003e, with this name, we encounter another of the mysteries of east Caucasian weaving which scholarship has still to resolve satisfactorily. The Lesghi are one of many tribes who once inhabited the northeastern area of the Caucasus. There would seem to be little evidence for attributing to them the rugs which are currently described in the West by many dealers and writers as '\u003cem\u003eLesghi\u003c\/em\u003e'-in most cases, this means pieces which have on them large serrate edged square-section stars, the so-called \"\u003cem\u003eLesghi stars\u003c\/em\u003e\". It is framed with a series of borders, the main of which is the \"leaf and calyx\". The design of this rug is interpreted and the most appropriate colors to match the original are used for this rug.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor summary:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 colors in total, most used 4 colors are;\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBistre Brown \u003c\/strong\u003e 411 (Pomegranate - Madder Root) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImperial Red \u003c\/strong\u003e 415 (Madder Root) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Wool Color \u003c\/strong\u003e 320 (No Dye)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunray Color \u003c\/strong\u003e 405 (Henna) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ararat Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737950519592,"sku":"ART00447","price":3000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/7780\/8936\/files\/id_ART00447_SHV_V.jpg?v=1776848812","url":"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/products\/lesghi-star-kuba-rug-1","provider":"Ararat Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
