Story Behind the Art: Kazak rugs are well-recognized for their striking aesthetic, durability and highly saturated naturally dyed color tone. Originally woven by different tribes in the region of Caucasus Mountains, between the Black Sea and Caspian Sea, Kazak rugs feature distinct design patterns/motifs with geometric composition and tribal characteristics. Common patterns include medallions, rosettes, hooked polygons, diamonds and crosses as well as representations of animals, birds, trees and humans. Today Kazak rugs that are made in Azerbaijan or in Iran or near the Caucasus Mountains are referred to as Caucasian Kazaks, and Kazak style rugs that are made in Afghanistan are referred to as Afghan Kazaks. Pakistan has also emerged as an important center for production of Kazaks in the modern times.
