Description from the seller
➤Materials & Craftsmanship:
The "Pazyryk" rug is a hand-knotted wool rug with cotton warps and wefts. The rugs are hand-knotted using Ghazni wool, a variety of wool unique to Afghanistan known for its luxuriant finish as well as its unique way of absorbing colour which gives the rugs Abrash - the technical term used to describe the mottled effect given by each strand of wool's subtle variation of colour.
➤Weaving Quality & Durability
With 520,000 hand-tied knots, the rug features the Turkish (double) knot technique, making it denser, more durable, and longer-lasting than Persian rugs.

"Pazyryk" Rug: The Oldest Knotted Rug
The Pazyryk rug, dating back to the 5th century BCE, is the world's oldest known knotted rug. Discovered in 1949 by Russian archaeologist Sergei Rudenko in the Altai Mountains, Siberia, it measures 183 x 200 cm and features an advanced symmetrical knotting technique with 36 knots per cm².
Design & Symbolism
The central 4x6 grid contains star-like motifs, while the borders showcase horse riders, deer, and mythological griffins, reflecting the nomadic culture of its time.
Cultural Significance & Location
Believed to have Achaemenid Persian, Scythian, or Turkic influences, it highlights ancient rug-knotting expertise. Today, it is displayed at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.
