Goradis
Goradis design rugs are actually a type of Karbagh rugs. The singular motif decorating the field in a repeated pattern comes from the Karabagh region. Whether it is meant to represent stylized floral or animal shapes it is hard to say. There is a definite flavor of scorpions or crustacean about it.
Some of these rugs date quite early.
