Finest Dragon Kazak Caucasian Rug Blessed byHH Dalai Lama This regal and magnificent Caucasian Dragon Rug depicts a prototypical dragon rug of 16th. century origin. Dueling Dragons and Phoenixes are the main attraction of this amazing rug. As the fight between these two mythological animals created Rain and Prosperity. The medallion motifs with contrasting colors and radiant appendages artfully spread across the fiery terra-cotta field. Hand-on-hip elibelinde motifs, berekets and potent duality symbols fill in the deeply serrated, precisely outlined dragon motifs. Scrolling latchhooks, wolf’s mouth devices, auspicious eight-pointed stars and a multitude of ancient protection symbols are skillfully woven into the intricately patterned, boldly colored field of this unique rug. Scrolls of outer borders and delicate guard bands filled with conjoined botanical motifs wind around the perimeter of the composition and embrace the cool blue main borders, which contain protective trousseau boxes, serrated stars and complex duality symbols that are highly decorative and deeply meaningful to this type of Safavid period Rugs.
