Rug with a Swastika Design

The source of the rug comes from the book Orient Star - A Carpet Collection, E. Heinrich Kirchheim, Hali Publications Ltd, 1993 nr.17. This is a remarkable and very unusual swastika designed early 19th-century rug from the Central Caucasia area. This unusual pattern is not known on other rugs but is seen on two Anatolian embroideries, one in the Iparmüveszeti Museum in Budapest, and the other in a private collection in Adenau, Germany. The design of the rug is interpreted by our designers, and soft colors are chosen for this rug.
