Yomut Chuval
mid 19th century, 75 x 107 cm, Central Asia, West Turkestan
This bag face shows sixteen guls arranged in rows of four on a chestnut ground. Slender cruciform secondary guls are placed between them. The specific Yomut subgroup (Karadashli or Igdir) which produced this example is a question yet to be resolved.
Condition
Low pile in places. Cut sides, missing selvedges. Both finishes reduced. No kilim back.
