The Shikli rugs were woven towards the end of the nineteen century in northwest
Azerbaijan in the region of the village of Shikli. Their designs follow the tradition that
imposes a determined layout of motifs repeated in all the pieces, allowing us to
appreciate the variations in each one of them: in the colors, in the chosen filler
motifs, the way of representing them, and the inclusion of the unexpected. These
variants result from each weaver’s individual creativity while navigating the frame of
this idiosyncratic, time-honored and alluring design.
This rug presents a distinctive blue medallion with a marked abrash where a group of
birds, usually found on the primary border, float like stars. In the field there are six
camels, some with their mouths open!
