pazyryk carpet::The weaver, not under rigid control of a court or commercial factory, inserted these figures in order to solve an awkward space problem, which permitted her to have the basic design elements to reasonably fill the corners.
Black and white illustrations available in publication bring to us clear representation of all the designs under discussion.
No adequate or even nearly adequate color representation is as yet available.
Analysis pro and con will certainly continue as the rug, plus many other objects from this and kindred grave sites become better known.
Technique is quite another matter.
Due to the early dating, it is of decisive importance.
The sudden appearance of a closely woven carpet with a very short pile, presumably knotted, rather than with a cut loop, challenges most previous theories.
A few scattered fragments such as those excavated by sir aural stein are knotted, but so coarsely so, it seemed they may have marked the beginning of knotting.
As the carpet is enclosed behind a glass frontal, it was impossible to handle it.
Concentration on worn or eaten areas disclosed a warp and weft of wool, and a pile of the same material.
Enough such places made it possible to observe the method by which the pile was secured by the foundation thus permitting an analysis.
Pile roots are clearly visible.
After examination by eye with good light in all logical places, it is quite clear this is true knotting, of the socalled turkish or ghiordes type.
It was difficult to secure an accurate knot count, but the estimate of 240 knots to the square inch, as published by rudenko, seems quite justified.
