Mugan carpet
Let’s take a closer look at the sketch of Mugan carpet, a classic Karabakh composition by the famous carpet scientist Latif Karimov. The name of the carpet is associated with the Mugan plain located between the Kura and Aras rivers.
The design of the Mugan carpet consists of 12 hook-shaped elements called kohna nakhish (old pattern), symbolizing 12 years. When compiling the calendar, along with the days and months, the ancient Turkic peoples also used a 12-year cycle.
This sketch displays the author's interpretation of the classic Mugan carpet. The sketch is original and atypical: mustard color prevails, and images of animals act as auxiliary elements.
