Very beautiful Seichur Kuba: of high epoch (around half of 19th. cent.), in perfect state of conservation (it has no restorations) and it has all perfet pile. It' has an incredibly elegant knot and it is so light to seem a textile. Very rare. Seikhur is situated on the river Samur, near the Caspian Sea and the rugs that take the name of it have knotted from a population that, according to the legend, descendant from Mongol. One of the most important pattern is the St. Andrew cross, that can be seen in this piece. Every medallion, very articulated and structured to form of cross, it has in the center a cross-form rose of Seikhur and from it stand out in diagonal four arms that serve as connection with other medallions staggered of a hypothetical following line, so that to give the impression of a pattern cut out by a continuous modular composition
