JBOC Comments: John Wertime
wrote about these in Wright,
Richard. Wertime, John. Caucasian Carpets and Covers pages 73
- 75 and plate VII. I always enjoy John's perspective on these. He
refers to them as Baku Zili and notes that they are made in the same
manner as Shadda. That alone causes me to think that they must be
Azeri. The majority of the people in Baku in the period in which this
was made were Azeri Turks.
