  • Size

    130cm(W) x 180cm(L) / 4'3"(W) x 5'11"(L)

  • Condition

    center medallion area is low. Though not particularly egregious, some fool has tinted the exposed warps in a few places.

  • Structure

    pile, asymmetric knot open left. Ends consist of weft float and weft-faced plain weave.

  • Materials

    wool, camel, goat and silk

  • Full Description

    silk appears to be vegetal, no fading. Fine weave with nomadic thin, floppy handle. The scale of the medallions descend in size. The frequency that one sees this technique (in gul size too) employed in most Turkic main carpets suggests that it is purposeful. Perhaps the idea is to create the illusion of enhanced size and distance of the khan when a lesser sits at the opposite end.
