This is a decorative masterpiece. You will see many Ushaks and Herizes but very few close to this. I'm not sure if this is actual camel hair but I suspect it is fine wool dyed to perfection in a chamois-honey tone. The lavish size--unusual in Caucasians really--is matched by early Qajar Persian influence through the quirky medallion and exhilarating boteh border. The dye materials are king here, with greens and reds gorgeously matched to the earthy base colors of honey and ivory.
