Let's take a closer look at the kilim of Jabrail group from the museum's Shusha Branch collection.

Identical sirga patterns in the central field of the kilim, decorated with small rapports, can also be observed on the Tabriz kilims. The diagonal design of patterns in such a rhythmic composition reveals a picture of extraordinary beauty creating features of aesthetic symbolism. The border patterns gurd izi, chahmagli gizil gul, and pitik indicate the symbolic character of the kilim's design. The harmony of shades represents Karabakh carpet weaving and its rich color palette.
