Kaitag

Kaitag is the name of a multi ethnic group of people living in an area northwest of Derbend in the Daghestan region. They are known for the unique type embroideries which they have produced, using silk threads on a hand woven cotton fabric. Designs appear to be derived from Ottoman sources and from motifs found on local tombstones.
