28 Central Asian Rugs
The rugs made m Central Asia have characteristic patterns and colour schemes differing from other Eastern rugs. The colour scheme, which produces beautiful effects is dominated by one colour and not by contrasts. The colours are varying shades of red, terra cotta, maroon and brown. Their patterns are never floral, but always geometrical such as octagons, diamonds or hexagons, repeated in rows. A central medallion is not used. The weavers employ the " Sehna knot " and finish the sides of the rugs with an " overcasting " or " double-overcasting " of two or more cords. The ends are left long and have fringes of fantastic designs.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Central Asian Rugs
