Description Yomut chuval, Turkmenistan, mid-19th century. A crisp, clear picture of Yomut weaving is captured in this delightful chuval. The strong contrasting border may be a variant of the tuning-fork type seen in examples of Tekke work. Streamlined delicate crests on the bird heads inside well-proportioned primary guls add a nice touch. The rare secondary motifs consist of four colorful diamonds perfectly organized within a spacious composition. The undecorated elem offers a perfect serene foil against which the delightful energy of the field is balanced. Size: 3'7'' x 2'5'' (109 x 74 cm). Weight: 3 lbs. Material: wool pile, wool warp, wool weft.
