Caucasian pile carpets of the ‘dragon’ type are some of the earliest preserved woven productions of the Caucasus region, dating back to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries CE. They feature dragon motifs, more or less stylized. In the oldest preserved examples, the warps and wefts are usually both wool, and the pile is invariably wool.
