Eagle Kazak
Adler refers to a design type associated with Caucasian Kazak rugs. The term is derived from the German word Adler, meaning “eagle,” and is sometimes used by collectors to describe geometric motifs that resemble stylized birds or eagle forms. Kazak rugs are known for their bold geometric patterns, saturated colors, and strong tribal character. Adler Kazak examples often display large angular medallions and symbolic tribal motifs typical of the Caucasus weaving tradition.
