Mamluk rugs are inspired by old Mamluk rugs created by soldier slaves in Egypt during the 13th-16th centuries. The central medallion is often more circular or hexaganol than diamond shape and radiates outward filling the centre area of the rug with intricate patterns.
Pazyrk rugs are inspired by the oldest remaining rug still in existence today and on display in the Hermitage museum in St. Peterburg, Russia. The Original Pazyryk rug was excavated by archeologists in 1949 from a burial mound in Siberia and was almost fully preserved in ice. It is thought to be a Persian pattern made by the Pazyryk nomads in the 5th Century BC.
