Abstract
In the article one unique carpet from personal collection kept in Goris (Southern Azerbaijan) is studied. That carpet is known by the name “Seven planets”. The carpet was woven in 1880 and according character of figures, pictured on it, it’s author was amateur carpet-maker. Uniqueness of that carpet is explained by it’s content aspect. It should be also pointed, that in special literature such samples aren’t mentioned. In the centre of carpet rectangular medallion is placed, and it’s border isn’t very wide, it consists of three stripes. In that medallion warm, light-brown colour transforms into dark-brown one (here abrash is seen). In the medallion pictures of seven planets are placed. These planets are symbols of heavenly stars. In the centre of medallion the Sun is pictured. (Arabian inscriptions with names of planets are connected with different anthropomorphous figures. These inscriptions are placed side by side, on the background of four paddle medallions of yellow colour. These medallions are outlined by yellow contour line).
