Qedim Quba Carpets

The composition of the center field of the Gyryz carpet consists mainly of several large gels arranged along the central vertical axis. The gels in such carpets are of a "khoncha" or "tabag" shape, with rhomboid elements to the left and to the right. Craftsmen call these elements "gulli yaylyg". In the center of the gels there is an element called "aypara" ("crescent"). It is believed to depict a wedding khoncha. Typical to the Gyryz carpets are the images of the pair of ear rings in between the gels, lined up images of birds and individual elements of various forms and shapes.
