May 14/12 - 12:33 >> This is a Caucasian Seichur Kuba from the 2nd quarter of the 19th century. It is about 3.5 by 5 feet. To my eye it has a sort of archaic feel to it that is more typical of rugs that are older than this one. The middle east rug industry went through changes during the first half or first two-thirds o...

May 09/12 - 09:41 >> I caught these pictures recently in my cousin's backyard. Doesn't it look alien-like? A tiny, baby praying mantis!
