The Kazak here uses the dual medallion pattern and rich blue dye of its type, even proving its antique status by bearing abrash dye. The ‘S’ shape repeated on the blue field counters the straight and geometric patterns of the medallions and borders. What ties this weave together and what makes it so exquisite, is that every part of the carpet creates a tantalizing variance of color.
