Two Yomut Asmalyks
late 19th century, A = 68 x 118 cm, B = 67 x 120 cm, Central Asia, West Turkestan
Asmalyks were always made in pairs. They adorned the flanks of the camel during wedding processions. It is comparatively rare that they survive as a pair. In this asmalyk pair, the fields are decorated with erre guls, and the red main borders show syrga devices. Original decorative fringe with colourful tufts of wool.
Condition
Very good condition.
