Antique Talish Rug, Caucasus, circa 1900 - Geometric animals and versatile hook motifs used for protection against the evil eye decorate the sparse dark blue field. Multiple borders and finely-detailed guardbands featuring colorful hook variations set over an ivory background surround the comparatively narrow field. Multi-color inner borders and secondary borders featuring a charming floral pattern support the prominent main borders that include Talish flowers filled with geometric stars, which are flanked by an elegant fretwork pattern with strong, ornamental lines.
