This is an interesting piece that my friend wanted help with identification. It appears to be Caucasian, but we can't tell its type beyond that. Is it a Kazak or Kuba or ???

The field is blue which I don't see in Kazak's as much - normally they are tans and browns with lots of reds it seems:




Here is a (bad) shot of the back/selvage:


Any thoughts are appreciated

I think it is likely Shirvan. Look at some Shirvan images and see what you think.

Yes it could be, but they seem more geometric in most photos. This has more rounded and organic shapes.

I will ask my friend tonight and see what he thinks too and let you know.

I would say Shirvan too. Its more seldom but not uncommon to have a more round flower shape.

Thank you both for your replies. I looked at a lot more Shrivan photos and I do see a few that are close to this - less common - but nice validation - thank you both!
