Goradis
Goradis design rugs are actually a type of Karbagh rugs. The singular motif decorating the field in a repeated pattern comes from the Karabagh region. Whether it is meant to represent stylized floral or animal shapes it is hard to say. There is a definite flavor of scorpions or crustacean about it.
Some of these rugs date quite early.
Goradis rugs are Caucasian carpets associated with the Karabagh region.
These rugs often feature simple geometric patterns, diagonal stripes, or lattice designs, reflecting the village weaving traditions of the southern Caucasus.
Goradis carpets are valued for their bold tribal character.
