The weaving technique is flat woven and known as Soumakh work. The technique is traditional to the region and made by numerous tribal weavers in the Caucasus and northwest Persia. Designs are simplistic displaying geometric forms and based on abstract flora forms. The colors and design as seen here suggest that this was made Cira 1910.
