3 x 4 Antique Caucasian Shirvan Kuba Rug 77658

77658 Antique Caucasian Shirvan Kuba Rug with Tribal Style 03'02 x 04'04. Give the look of woven wonders and nomadic charm with this hand-knotted wool antique Caucasian Shirvan Kuba rug. The navy blue field features a variety of ambiguous tribal motifs: Ram's Horn motifs, Hands on Hips, Stars, birds, hooks, rosettes, and animals. Derived from the virility of the Ram's Horn motif, the Classic Elibelinde motif, also known as the “hands on hips” or goddess motif, is thought to represent motherhood and fertility while ram’s horns represent masculinity and power. The fertility bereket motifs that appear combine the symbols of both man and woman, often referred to as ram’s Horn and hands-on-hips motifs, into one design with a diamond in the centre. It is enclosed with a Kufic border flanked with an inner star guard band and outer crenelated fence guard band. Though deceptively simple, this antique Shirvan rug is steeped in history, cultural significance, and imbued with ancient symbolism.
