Story Behind the Art: Kazak rugs originate in the broader Caucasus region, where tribal groups developed bold, geometric compositions dyed with vivid natural colors. Expect stacked medallions, hooked polygons, stepped diamonds, and symbolic emblems—sometimes animals, trees, or stylized human figures—drawn with confident line and strong symmetry. In today’s market, “Caucasian Kazak” typically denotes pieces woven in or near the Caucasus, while “Afghan Kazak” describes works produced in Afghanistan in the same spirit; Pakistan has also become an important source. Across geographies, the through-line remains the same: saturated color, sturdy construction, and striking graphic impact that reads as timeless and unmistakably Kazak.
