Central Asia, Early 20th Century
4 ft. 1 in. x 4 ft. 10 in.

A wool pile with symmetric knots on a wool foundation. The liver-colored, four-part field features a small, repeating geometric pattern, vertically separated by a red band containing ashiks, and an ecru horizontal band with a cross and bracket pattern. This design is repeated in the ivory main border. At the ends are elems (extra panels) with the characteristic Yomud flying eagles. Not a Tekke. Well-woven, with a pile made of good nomadic wool.
