Azeri Zili Lot: 62
Azeri Zili This brocaded flatweave, with a colourful compartment design and red warps, consists of two panels joined at the centre. Called verneh in the past, covers woven by the Azeri group in the South Caucasus are termed zili in more recent publications. Woven in harmonious colours, this very beautiful example stands out on account of its small format; measurements of two by four metres are not uncommon, but rather the standard in compartment zilis. The item was published and exhibited in Munich in 1978. – In good condition, except for small darned areas.
Origin:
South Caucasus, Azerbaijan
Dimensions:
175 x 140 cm
