  Armenian Rugs and Carpets
The rug maker was free to see the rug before his eyes as the painters do, to make comparisons of the colors and forms, to make instant corrections on the spot, to keep the symmetry and enrich the compositions with new ones, if necessary.
Another characteristic feature of the Armenian national classical rugs, (Lori, Artsakh), is the depiction of a medallion in the center of the rug representing the sun as the source of life surrounded with heavenly birds, as its heralds.
All those patterns ornamenting the Armenian rugs were closely connected with the legendary notions, superstitions, and the pagan faith and worship rites of the remote ancestors of the Armenian people, inscribed in the ancient manuscripts and popular folk songs.
