The "Four medallion Kazak" rug is one whose iconography stands out clearly from the other well-known Kazak types. These rugs are covered with immediately recognizable geometric design. The motif seems to have been adopted into a number of other Kazak rugs which have different proportions and in particular different borders, but there is a core group, of which the present rug is probably the archetype, which share various features.
