	M964.1.194 Carpet Wool; Hair; Cotton Azerbaijan (Capistan; Kouba-Shirvan; Caucasus) c. 1850-90 The Maltwood purchased this carpet in London (Beghian, 18 Dover Street) on April 23, 1926. It has a large central rectangle with four borders. The ground is red and features four horses and a number of stylized birds and other animals. The upper two horses are black, carrying horsemen wearing red garments. The two horses in the lower half are white or cream-coloured and riderless. A groom stands between them. The borders are decorated with serrated leaf and "wind Glass" patterns in red, green, orange and dark brown. Subsidiary borders have rosette and eight-pointed star motifs. There is conflicting information in the document files about the classification of this carpet. It was originally listed as "Kouba Shirvan" but reclassified as "Capistan." It probably was made in the Shirvan-Korba-Capistan region (the southern area of the Caucasus near Baku, Azerbaijan). "Cabistan" (variations include Capistan, Kabistan, Capristan, and Cabristan) is a common Caucasian label in older references and catalogs of rug dealers. The name may have come from the misplacement of one letter (Kubistan to Kabistan) or may derive from Cabristan (Land of Graves) and refer to the funeral use of certain types of carpets. Some carpets from the area north and east of the Kura River and south of Baku are labelled as "Kobistan." Central fields decorated with stylized flowers and animal figures are common in these and other "Shirvan" or "Capistan" carpets.
