Ethnographic carpet of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic
The ethnographic carpet of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic is protected at the National Museum of Azerbaijan History of ANAS. The carpet belonging to the Garabagh carpet school was crocheted as a sign of gratefulness to Turkish army who came to prevent the genocide against the Azerbaijanis by Bolshevik-Dashnak forces in 1918. The carpet has been crocheted on the base of a photograph taken in 1916. The photo is engraved on the main center of the carpet. The photo attracts "Dear Enver Bey efendi" "Mr. Shevket Pasha," "Mr Yusuf Izzatdin, and Sultan V Muhammad Rashad Khan". Ethnographic material included in the museum is an important source for the study of Azerbaijani ethnography and the study of the Azerbaijani - Ottoman relations at the beginning of the twentieth century.
