Caucasian Rugs

Shirvan including Marasali, Chajli, and Akstafa.
Rugs from the Shirvan area are characterized by decorative elements in dense arrangements. Small areas of color, producing a mosaic effect often separate the elements. Typically appearing on the main borders are serrated leaves, horizontal-S motifs, rosettes and a unique design of hooked triangles.

Talish including Lenkoran and Moghan.
Their long, narrow shape easily recognizes carpets from the region of Talish. Typically, the long field is devoid of any decorative element except color - red or dark blue, in most cases. A running arrowhead motif in a light color might border the field. Sometimes, the long field is decorated with orderly rows of Boteh.

Daghestan including Lesghistan.
Their coarse manufacture and high-trimmed pile characterize rugs of the mountainous Daghestan area. Various small decorative motifs are used. Daghestan prayer rugs often have a pale background and a niche with a pointed or pentagonal arch.
