Antique Kuba 'Khyrdagyd' Prayer Rug 123 x 155cm / 4'0" x 5'1"

An exceptional example of a rare Caucasian prayer rug dated 1296 or 1874, with the 'Khyrdagyd' design within the field. A number of early indications for this lovely rug apart from the date which seems to be accurate; the squarish format, the floating mihrab- it doesn't touch the inner borders at all and the high quality weave and colours used. It's very attractive and in excellent condition. There are some small repairs but for a rug of this age I think these are absolutely normal and acceptable.
