Kaitag textiles from the Republic of Dagestan, Russia
“Kaitags are a rare form of embroidered textile from the Kaitag district of Daghestan (which is mainly inhabited by Dargins). Virtually unknown in the West until the late 1980s, there are apparently only around 600 known pieces in the entire world.
Kaitags were essentially used to distract the evil eye during ritual ceremonies such as births, weddings and funerals — probably by ritually "shielding" the protagonist(s) of such ceremonies i.e. the baby, the couple, or the deceased — and with this purpose in mind were very brightly decorated with many different symbols (stags, hands, sun symbols, ect.)”
