| JBOC Notes: Grogan's
calls this a Kuba Runner and I have decided that
it is a Lezgi Kuba runner. he rug is a classic
example of a Kuba rug. I just believe that many
of the Kubas rugs can be further attributed to
the Lezgi which are one of the main
ethno-linguistic groups of the Kuba region.
Kuba Rugs have blue three cord selvages as we
wee in the images to the left. What distinguishes
Lezgi rugs is the way the blue selvage wrap that
extends into the pile area. as we can see in the
upper image. I also expect to see strands of the
selvage extend 3 to six inches into the pile.
Then I noticed in a warn area one of those
intrusions that I expected in a Lezgi rug. I
added the arrow to point it out.
