Kazaks are typified by large, bold patterning, vibrant colors and frequently, high pile. Here, a most unusual design of hooked swastika forms in alternating staggered rows appears on the familiar red-colored ground. Green lozenge shapes, possibly stylized leaves, form a trellis pattern creating a sense of rhythm and movement.
