Rug weaving Culture of Artsakh

The above stated facts reveal the rich representation of Artsakh rug weaving culture and multiform manifestations of its influence on other rug weaving centres. Actually Artsakh an exceptional area presenting the gorgeous and unique rug weaving culture of Armenia. It comprises all aspects which completely capture this sphere of Armenian historico-cultural heritage. Still the types of rugs presented in this study do not provide the comprehensive picture of rugs typical of Artsakh rug weaving centres. To avoid uncertainties we have not included tenths of types for the lack of distinct historico-ethnographic data. Several types studied by us before are not included due to deficiency of required photographs. The portrayal is not all-inclusive also because all types have a great number of varieties characterized by key features. These testify to the infinite wealth of Armenian as well as Artsakh rugs. We hope very much that in due course further thorough research will provide possibility to publish the types missing in this study for identification of the consummate picture of Artsakh rugs.
