Book Synopsis Flat-woven Rugs & Textiles from the Caucasus by : Robert H. Nooter
Book excerpt: Caucasian flat-woven carpets and textiles are explored in a fascinating text and 436 beautiful color photographs, including kilims, zilis, khorjins, and mafrash bedding bags. Weaving styles by the nomadic, indigenous peoples include a rich mixture of geometric and figurative forms recognized as uniquely Caucasian. Descriptions of the autor's field visits and investigation into the origins of these pieces are discussed through comparisons with artifacts in the Russian Ethnographic Museum in St. Petersburg.
