Antique Kazak Wool Runner - 4' x 9'

Handwoven from wool in Russia, this antique Kazak rug features stars of wisdom, symbolic representations of luck and spirituality, in an intriguing compartment-style format. Scorpion motifs, symbols thought to ward off evil intent, fill the narrow ivory border. Traditionally inspired by the Caucasian designs found in carpets from Russian and the northern Persian empire, antique Kazak rugs incorporated a distinctive tribal flavor.
