THE ARAN-KARABAKH CARPET SCHOOL (the Karabakh School of carpet weaving)

Аннотация

The earliest remains of a carpet discovered in the Pazryk mounds have distinctive features that are more similar to the world-famous Karabakh carpets. These carpets in science belong to a separate Karabakh school of carpet weaving, which goes back to the period of antiquity. Art historians highlight individual elements of ornamentation on these carpets. Karabakh carpet makers have created real works of art. In this article, the authors attempt to classify these carpets in different directions. Some names of villages in Karabakh are also taken as a basis for the classification.
