Talk:James F. Ballard

message: I decided to delete this list from the article, as it is full of broken links, spellings change over time, and I was the one who originally put it there. If you disagree then say so.
But for posterity, here is a copy:
Ballard mainly collected rugs of the following types:
*From Persia (now Iran and surrounding areas), most of these rugs and other weavings use the sehna knot, but the ghiordes knot and soumak weaving are sometimes used.
**Horse Trappings
**Jushagan rugs
**Feraghan rugs
**Khorassan rugs
**Bakshi rugs
**Shiraz Prayer rugs
**Herāti rugsJohn Herron Institute
**Lorestāni rugs
**Hamedani rugs
**Kashan rugsBallard Catalogue No. 16
*From what Ballard referred to as Indo-Persia, which are the lands between and including parts of India and [[Iran]. The sehna knot is ubiquitous.
*From Turkey, especially Anatolia. These rugs use the ghiordes knot exclusively.
**The Ghiordes group, ghiordes is a name derived from the city of Gordium, which was the ancient capital of Phrygia.
***Prayer rugs
***Bectash rugs
***Kis or maiden rugs
**Koula rugs, which come from an area one hundred miles north of Izmir, in Turkey, these rugs are similar to the ghiordes group in construction, but differ in design and color scheme.
**Bergama Carpets from the city of Bergama and the surrounding environs.
**Ladik rugs from the area around the ancient city of Laodicea.
**Uşak carpets, sometimes called Oushak rugs, from the city of the same name. These rugs are also called Holbein rugs because the artist Hans Holbein depicted them so frequently in his paintings.
**Mudjur rugs
*Kilims, rugs produced in areas ranging from the Balkans to Iran.
*Syrian rugs, these rugs use the sehna knot.
*Rugs from the Caucasus Mountain region (Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia). These rugs are coarser than the rest of the collection due to the small number of knots per square inch.
**Baku rugs
**Quba rugs
*Armenian dragon rugs
*Karabakh rugsBallard Catalogue No. 16
*What Ballard referred to as Kazak rugs, it is unclear from the publications of his collection whether this refers to Cossack rugs, or rugs from Kazakhstan. These rugs used the ghiordes knot.
*Chinese weavings
**rugs
**mats
**saddle covers and other horse trappings
*Uzbek rugs. These rugs predominately use the sehna knot.
