Unique Rug with Stars of David - Feedback Needed

Lesley Lesley Bearman Lahm wrote to me:

I purchased the rug in the photo below (in Baku, Azerbaijan) and am very curious about the symbolism. At first I thought it might be from a Jewish home, but then thought it might be some sort of neo-facist iconography.

I had an appraiser take a look at it, and she is rather intrigued as well - her speciality is carpets.

we have approached museums and they never respond! I am simply interested in its origins etc. - I find it intriguing and also a lovely piece (the workmanship is beautiful).

The other things are flags we think - I originally thought they were the wings of the birds, but the appraiser pointed out they were flags - the rug is in storage, but I believe the stripes are green, yellow and red. Colors of Lithuania?
