The Proshaberd design is named after the fortress of the same name. Its identity rests on three prominent polygonal medallions and a warm, clay-coloured palette.
A late nineteenth-century example woven in Vayots Dzor is recorded in the History Museum of Armenia under number 10693. The place of production distinguishes this documented piece.
Cross-like ornaments occupy the medallion centres and recall the radiating forms of eagle carpets. Small repeated border elements create a contrasting, closely spaced rhythm.
