Carpet

As part of the celebration of the liberation of our native Karabakh, we continue to share beautiful exhibits from the museum's Shusha Branch collection. Let's take a closer look at the Shusha carpet of the Karabakh group with an original design.​
 
The exquisite composition of this colorful carpet sports vegetative, geometric, zoomorphic, and ornithomorphic ornaments.​ The gorgeous border, the central stripe of which is adorned with the most beautiful Sarabi-Buta ornament, complements the carpet's central field. This suggests that the artistic design and color harmony of Tabriz carpets have always influenced Karabakh carpets.​
