180 x 140 cm
This piece was woven by a woman of the Ersari Turkmen tribe, on the end of the Nineteen Century or the
beginning of the Twentieth Century.
Ensi pile rugs used to cover the entrance to the tent (as a woven door).
A remarkable feature of this piece is the stretched and simplified version of the
‘curled leaf’ design in the inner frame , which appears on three sides in an arch
like fashion. Also interesting is the rendering of the horizontal beam of the
hatchlu cross, filled with polygons containing eight pointed stars. On the outer
border variation is added by the ivory boxes that are not a continuous guard, but
are separated by sections filled with the dominant field color.
A very similar example was published in the book´TURKOMAN´by Uwe
Jourdan, 1989, Plate 249, Page 276.
