Another well-defined group of Caucasian rugs comes from the famous Kazak area around Lake Sewan, in the southwest Caucasus. Field designs of Sewan Kazak rugs present various versions of large, dramatic, central, shield-like, cruciform medallions. Thus, they are also traditionally called Shield Kazaks. Bold and well proportioned, this example shows the addition of multiple, tiny, red and white diamonds, asymmetrically scattered throughout the field. This unique design is commonly called a “snowflake design,” and is highly prized by antique Caucasian rug collectors.
