A teal-blue field — an uncommon ground for a Kazak, which usually runs red or ivory — carrying five stepped medallions down a pole, alternating red and cream. Each is an octagonal cartouche with hooked arms reaching out to either side and a small cross or star at its heart, and small eight-point stars sit in the spaces between. A wide sand-cream main border of rosettes and serrated diamonds frames the field, backed by a deep red outer band of stars and dogtooth stripes, with cream fringe at both ends.
Hand-knotted in wool. Everything is drawn rectilinearly — every hook, arm and star built from right-angled steps on the knot grid, with no curve anywhere. The blue ground carries visible abrash, wide horizontal banding where one dye lot gave way to the next. At 72×208cm this is a short, narrow rug: long relative to its width and useful in a small hallway or beside a bed, but not long enough to be a true runner — worth knowing if you are measuring for a corridor.
