Figs. 8 and 9 of Plate [H] represent two tertiary stripes often seen in Ladiks and Kulahs. They illustrate the evolution of patterns; for in the same stripe of a rug will sometimes be seen the first of these and the simple ribbon pattern of Plate [F], Fig. 18 (opp. Page 158), and also in the same stripe of another rug will sometimes be seen the second of these and a continuous row of “ff” designs, as in Plate [H], Fig. 2.
The most typical of all Kulah secondary stripes, though it is also seen in Rhodian rugs and occasionally in an old Ghiordes, is illustrated in Plate [H], Fig. 10. A somewhat similar stripe is shown in Plate [H], Fig. 11. The design looks like a Chinese motive, but that it is evolved from a vine will be seen by comparing these stripes with those in Figs. 4 and 12. All of them are Asia Minor border stripes.
Plate H. Secondary and Tertiary Border-Stripes of Asia Minor Rugs
In Figs. 13 and 14 of Plate [H] are illustrated the swastika and S stripe, which are seen now and then in Asia Minor rugs, such as Kulahs, and also in Caucasian rugs.
One of the most typical of Melez secondary stripes, representing processes like cogs projecting in a row from alternating sides of the stripe, is shown in Plate [H], Fig. 15. The stripes shown in Figs. 16 and 17 of Plate [H], representing a row of small rosettes and a row of octagonal discs, are also occasionally seen in Melez rugs.
The very angular vine shown in Plate [H], Fig. 18, is sometimes seen in Koniehs.
A very unusual secondary stripe (Plate [H], Fig 19), found in a few Anatolians, represents a fret pattern, which was probably copied from some monument.
The chain pattern (Plate [H], Fig. 20) is occasionally seen as a tertiary stripe in the Ghiordes. It appeared in Asia Minor rugs of several centuries ago, and has been copied by the weavers of Caucasia. Sometimes the lines are angular, and again the S’s are separated by small round or square dots.
