This Karabakh rug is published in;

pl. 378. 

There are several versions of the gul farangi (foreign flower) pattern,
consisting usually of individual bunches of three large cabbage roses,
used on a wide variety of rugs from Persia and the Caucasus.
Here in an Armenian rug from the Karabakh region of the southern Caucasus
we see it in what might be described as its final highly stylised and
simplified manifestation in two forms arranged in alternating diagonal
rows on a black ground. Similar versions of the design are also found
on Karabakh kelims dating, like this pile rug, from between about 1900 and 1910.
