Ajami

Azerbaijan · 1948

The volume names no school for this carpet. Its caption reads “Design by Latif Karimov. Azerbaijan. 1948” — a studio work by the scholar the museum is named for, not a village weaving. It sits among the Nakhchivan plates only because that is where the running order puts it.
