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 with floral decorations. Our designers interpret the design of this rug and soft colors are chosen for this rug.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor summary:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 colors in total, most used 4 colors are;\u003cul\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBistre Brown \u003c\/strong\u003e 411 (Pomegranate - Madder Root)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGinger Church\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 (Spurge - Madder Root)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTurquoise \u003c\/strong\u003e 330 (Spurge - Madder Root - Indigo - Walnut Husk)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWax Flower\u003c\/strong\u003e 530 (Spurge - Madder Root - Reseda Luteola)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ararat Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737916375336,"sku":"ART00407","price":2700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/7780\/8936\/files\/id_ART00407_kazak_V-scaled.jpg?v=1776848286","url":"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/products\/lesghi-star-kuba-rug","provider":"Ararat Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
