Karadashli Ensi
second half 19th century, 175 x 144 cm, Central Asia, West Turkestan
A hatchlu cross divides the aubergine-ground field into four segments of unequal size that are decorated with pekvesh flowers arranged in colour diagonals. A further division of the field is effected by the white borders comprising ashik guls used as surrounds for the two upper and lower segments, resulting in two large rectangular panels. The two-panel elem shows abstracted trees at the bottom and offset rows of huge arrowheads at the top.
Condition
Good condition, with the pile at original height.
