Seychour (Zeikhour)

Seychour rugs were made in the Kuba region with mostly a broad X repeated down the field with often Ivory, yellow or or rarely green field. Also typical is their use of "running dog' border and a particularly clear red in the inner border.

From Seychour also comes the Gol Farang (carpet of roses), a Caucasian version of European influenced designs with field packed with cabbage roses in vivid colors.
