At its heart, a diamond medallion in brick red and ivory anchors a scattering of tree-of-life panels, long-necked birds, camels, deer, and stylized human figures rendered in mustard gold, rust, cobalt, and cream, evoking the storytelling imagery long associated with Kazak and Caucasian tribal weavings.

A wide aubergine border marches with a continuous procession of stylized birds, framed by a cobalt guard band of eight-pointed star medallions and a narrow ivory zigzag. Ivory wool fringe finishes both ends.

The teal ground gives this piece a bolder, more contemporary edge than a traditional red-ground tribal rug — equally at home grounding an eclectic bohemian room or adding graphic warmth to a more traditional interior. See less
