Zakatala rugs, produced in the South Caucasus are some of the rarest and most collectible village weavings of this region. Zakatalas have the same graphic coloration, bold, rough and ready drawing, and monumental scale that make Kazaks and early Turkish village rugs so desirable. Zakatalas seem to have connections with the rugs from a number of different areas of the Caucasus. As a result, their designs are quite varied; some have medallions, others have allover designs, and still others are somewhere in between. But whatever the design, their approach to form and color is always unmistakable. And like Kazaks, they make wonderful decorative rugs.
