Description Tekke torba, 6-guls, Turkmenistan, circa 1800, or earlier. Given the large scale of these six guls, the early border, double-crested birds, crisp double-kochak and "bow-and-arrow" appendages on the chemche secondary ornaments, this is a very early example of Tekke weaving. The weaver expanded her tribal ornaments to the maximum limits of the field and they dominate the frame. The right and left edges are missing but take nothing away from this being a major statement of the earliest Tekke work. 2'5'' x 1'5'' (74 x 43 cm). Weight: 1 lbs. Material: wool pile, wool warp, wool weft.
