Chondzoresk rugs, also known as Cloudband Kazaks, are a type of Caucasian rug. Cloudband rugs frequently include references to Caucasian dragon carpets in the field, as seen in the medallions on this stunning piece. Excellent craftsmanship and condition.
Three eye-catching medallions present this style's cloudband devices, which radiate from central squared rosettes, along the field's vertical axis. In Asian mythology, these enigmatic forms represent the "bands of clouds" created by the vapours that encircle the dragon as it flies overhead, emitting an age-old, deeply symbolic ambiance of beneficence.
