     This is an authentic representative of the fine weaving and dying achieved in the caucus region in the previous century. Beyond the signature motifs that herald its lands of origin, this rug showcases a resilient antique indigo that sets itself apart from the vegetable tones that make up the rest of the peice in the way the color has aged. The unique petina of time taken on by the natural dyes tells a story of the the region and its cultures. Warm and earthy colored geometric symbols of heritage made bold and well defined even in age against the deep, constrasting backdrop of threads prepared to retain their color for centuries yet.
