		The detail of the hanging rug (behind, that is, the bag hanging in front, and the rolled rug in the foreground) seems to reveal the eccentric map-like mehrab and the particular gul we find in the Leyli and Majnun rugs in the previous post!
		I cannot help but agree, and refer to growing evidence of the integration of folk tales and religious symbols with symbols of the militarised present, one narrative ambiguously masking the other.
		And so is it possible that this militaristic representation of the figure of Gais may also be a reference to him as a “majnun”, in relation to the current circumstances, and the experience of the destruction of references to a Buddhist heritage?

		He certainly attracted recording activity from Melodiya in the days when attention was paid to the eastern satellite republics of the Soviet Union.
		The grand tender theme of the two lovers in Leyli and Majnun (7.20) stands as eloquent testimony to Garayev's melodious voice.
