Artistic particularities
Artistic particularities
In an earlier period, carpets of the same pattern were woven at carpet weaving points located in the Iranian Azerbaijan, but they were rougher than the Karabakh ones. The silk carpets “Shabalyt buta” woven in Jabrayil were very popular.
The middle field of the carpet is covered with buta patterns facing left and right. The artistic quality of the carpet is determined by the distance between the buta elements. The carpets with the representation in their middle field with buta located more densely look better than those with the rarer composition of buta. There are also carpets “Shabalyt buta” the middle field of which is filled with “gotazly buta” (“buta with a tassel”) and “airy buta” (“curve buta”).
