Eagle / Chelaberd Rugs from the Caucausus
Chelaberd rugs are often referred to as Eagle Kazaks. Although the design of these rugs shows an affinity to Kazak rugs, structurally, they are undisputedly Karabagh. The thick yarn used by weavers in these two areas creates a superficial similarity to the weave patterns of the two types. The products of this area have one of the few distinctive Caucasian weaves, consisting of two weft threads after every two rows of knots. The Kazaks, on the other hand, all appear to have an irregular number of wefts, from two to four, after every row of knots.

With a global economy in turmoil, conflicts raging in the Middle East and Africa, poverty and global warming, we, as a people, are facing serious challenges. During the recent US elections, America has demonstrated its belief in the “audacity of hope”. We have made a historic decision to leave behind the divisive identities that have so far kept us from working together for a common purpose. We have affirmed that the things that unite us are far more important than the issues that separate us from one another, and that to meet the challenges ahead, America must look to the future rather than the past.
