Country of Origin:
Caucasus/Karabagh
JBOC Comments:
Description: Christie's calls
this a Karabagh but I am not as sure. The pattern is common to Gendge
so I must assume that tyhis rug lacks the red wefts that one would
expect in a Gendge. Compare this to The James C.
Allen Gendge Long Rug which also lacks red wefts and a flat
back.
