KAZAK RUG

PROPERTY OF MR. CHARLES SCHUBERT, CHICAGO, ILL.

PLATE LOANED BY THE SIMPLICITY CO., GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.

The field consists of a series of medallions in dark brown and green upon a field of old rose. The main border stripe is rather foreign to the rugs of this class, being more like those found in the Bergama products. The next two important stripes carry the "crab design" while all the four guard stripes carry the conventional "saw teeth." That this piece has some age is quite evident from the condition of its ends.
