The Razia
★★★★★ 4.9 STAR SELLER RATING
A contemporary rug from the Kazak collection
New Afghan Kazak Design Runner — 2'1" x 5'7"
The Razia is a new hand-knotted rug woven in Afghanistan in a Kazak design, its light teal ground punctuated by five repeating octagonal rosette medallions in rust, cream, and navy. Made with wool pile on a cotton foundation, this piece brings the bold, graphic geometry of Kazak weaving to a narrow, versatile runner format. Part of our Kazak collection, it pairs striking pattern with a soft, livable palette.
- Origin: Afghanistan (Kazak design)
- Age: New
- Type: Runner
- Construction: Hand-knotted wool pile on cotton foundation
- Pile: Wool
- Use: Indoor
- Size: 2'1" x 5'7", approx. 0.45" thickness
Each rug is handcrafted and unique. Slight variations in dye saturation and weave are natural characteristics of hand-knotted rugs and reflect authenticity rather than imperfection.
Description
The Razia's field is arranged in a column of five repeating octagonal rosette medallions, each quartered by a red cross-line and rendered in rust, cream, and navy. Small stylized botehs flank the medallions along the sides, adding rhythm to the runner's length. For more on medallion and boteh motifs, see our guide to common rug motifs.
The ground is a soft, light teal blue-green, giving the bold medallion geometry a calm, livable backdrop rather than a high-contrast one. Explore more Kazak design pieces in our guide to the best rug styles for collectors.
At 2'1" x 5'7", the Razia is well suited to entryways, hallways, and narrow spaces where its repeating medallions can be appreciated in sequence.
History
Kazak rugs take their name from the Caucasus region, historically woven with bold, large-scale geometric medallions and saturated, high-contrast color. Afghan weavers have long produced rugs in this design tradition, valued for their graphic clarity and durable, densely knotted construction.
The Razia reflects this Kazak design lineage in runner format, with a softened, cooler palette than the tradition's classic high-contrast originals. Browse more pieces from this collection in our Kazak collection.
About the Name
Razia means "agreeable" or "content" in Arabic. It was notably borne by Razia Sultana, the 13th-century Sultana of Delhi and the only woman to rule the Delhi Sultanate.
The name reflects the rug's calm, composed presence—a bold, repeating pattern rendered in a soft, agreeable palette that settles into a room rather than commanding it.
Razia captures the Kazak design tradition at its most approachable: graphic in structure, gentle in color.
