Handwoven in the southern Caucasus during the fourth quarter of the 1800s, the composition is anchored by three monumental medallions, each occupying roughly one-third of the field and distinguished by its own unique color palette and internal geometry.

The medallions appear in rust red, pale yellow, and soft cream tones, creating a dynamic rhythm across the field while maintaining visual balance. Secondary accents of pale green, French blue, yellow, and warm brown introduce subtle complexity and depth. The elongated runner format makes this piece particularly versatile for interior design applications—ideal for hallways, galleries, kitchens, entryways.
