Author: Vahram Tatikyan

Vahram Tatikyan is a profound scientist, a well-known expert on rug-weaving art, especially on Armenian rugs. His wide knowledge of ethnology, mythology, architecture and exiles' history of the Armenian people enabled him to reveal many secrets in the art of rug-weaving. The "Ancestral Carpets of Karabagh " is a reflection this approach. Here, the idea of "tohmagorg" (family, ancestral rug), deciphers the past and latter-day understanding of this "Karabakh" group, and Tatikyan's keen observation reveal the characteristic features of different large and small rug-weaving centers.
