nm9999.jpg - 74173 Bytes Wright, Richard. Wertime, John. Caucasian Carpets and Covers page 137 plate 54 shows  a 1928 Zakgostorg Lithograph of a pin-wheel Kazak ascribed to the village of Kuttar in the Borchalo district.

I believe that the village of Kuttar in the Borchalo district is Kurtlyar in the district of Marneuli in Kvemo Kartli, Georgia. I am not suggesting that all pinwheel Kazaks came from Kurtlyar  but I think we can attribute the type to that area of the southern end of the Marneuli district
