Antique Yomut Turkoman Main Carpet.
Exceptional main carpet made by a member of the Yomut tribe in Turkmenistan around 1880. This Yomut main carpet has a dyrnak gul design and an unusually wide range of colours, including two lovely shades of green. A regular lattice of octagons and diamonds fills the top and bottom elems. The sides and ends of the field are marked by half guls, with a quarter gul filling the corners.
A similar, but slightly wider, piece is in the Rickmers Collection published in Pinner, Robert, The Rickmers Collection. Turkoman Rugs in the Ethnographic Museum Berlin. Staatliche Museen zu Berlin - Preussischer Kulturbesitz, 1993, Plate 47, p. 61.
