Gans-Reudin, Thames and Hudson, Switzerland 1986, pg.118\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is a famous, and ubiquitous, design of hooked polygons with crosses (called '\u003cem\u003eMemling ( Memlinc ) gül\u003c\/em\u003e') from the late 19th century, Kazak region, Caucasus area. It is often difficult to distinguish between rugs woven in the Kazak, Karabakh, Genje, and Moghan districts. Rugs with rows of stepped and hooked rectangles within octagons (the so-called \"Memling gül\" named after the 15th-century Flemish artist Hans Memling, in some of whose paintings such rugs are depicted) are often attributed without clear evidence to Moghan. As well as in many other Caucasian areas, pieces of this design were also woven in Anatolia, and it is generally assumed that the rugs which appear in Memling's paintings, and those in the works of another 15th and 16th century Flemish and Italian painters, were probably Turkish rather than Caucasian. This theory, however, remains unproven. This is a medallion design with \"\u003cem\u003eMemling güls\u003c\/em\u003e\". The \"\u003cem\u003egüls\u003c\/em\u003e\", consisting of sixteen stepped hooked octagons enclosing a rhombus bearing of large curved hooks in a cruciform arrangement, are a design typically found in rugs of the Moghan district. Our designers interpret the design of this rug and vivid colors are chosen for this rug.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor summary:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11 colors in total, most used 4 colors are;\u003cul\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNatural Wool Color \u003c\/strong\u003e 320 (Natural Sheep's Color)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImperial Red \u003c\/strong\u003e 415 (Madder Root)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDark Brown \u003c\/strong\u003e 316 (No Dye - Sheep’s Own Color)\u003c\/li\u003e \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCadet Blue\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 (Spurge - Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ararat Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700739408168,"sku":"ART00027","price":6000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/7780\/8936\/files\/id_ART00027_shirvan_V-scaled_v2.jpg?v=1776121664","url":"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/products\/memling-gul-kazak-rug-art00027","provider":"Ararat Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
