Old Kazaks are made on handspun wool and not on machine spun cotton like the visible warp on the pictures. Also the wool is different spun than the wool used on antique rugs. From looking at the pictures I think it is a romanian re production. Look at the think dark cotton weft hangingnout of the damaged area. 80% Romania, 20 % India whichnalso made rugs like this. Maybe 40 - 50 years old. KAD, Everything you weigh in I learn something new. Thanks for all the time you spend educating all of us. YOU ROCK!
