FACHRALO KAZAK PRAYER RUG
Southern Central Caucasian

(Connoisseur-Caliber) ("New Arrivals Gallery") Offering an extremely versatile never-found almost square size, this adorably charming piece is a delightful representative of a rare group of small prayer rugs especially prized among connoisseurs, from the high mountain village of Fachralo. Its overall simplicity has a commanding presence, with a pair of potent latch hook medallions and its joyful sprinkling of age-old tribal motifs reflecting the continuous spontaneity created by an artist confident of her medium. Fluently contributing to a palette grounded by the skillful use of madder red gradations, shades of seldom encountered golden bronze and soft spruce greens amidst deep cobalt, and undyed ivory further distinguish this captivating piece. Its rugged border suite possibly reflects this resilient people's daily terrain, while the softened patina of great age adds tremendously to the allure of this deeply desirable tribal rug.
