Description Yomut chuval, Turkmenistan, mid-19th century. There are two attractive Yomut chuvals with highly decorated elems in the Marsh Collection. Both have a wide range of natural colors and both are on an aubergine ground. This is one with an intriguing teal blue-green, orange and pale yellow, found in other pieces from notable specialist collections. The border is a series of large kochak elements and the deep elem displays a series of abstracted trees with angular branches in a style that is similar to other chuvals of this collectible group, raising the possibility they were all made by a distinct Yomut ethnic community, possibly the Igdyr. Size: 3'8'' x 2'5'' (112 x 74 cm). Weight: 4 lbs. Material: wool pile, wool warp, wool weft.
