- Lot Description
Central Asia, Turkmenistan, Turkoman (Turkman) Tekke people, ca. late 19th century CE. A beautiful woven and knotted wool pile textile presenting traditional motifs in a striking color palette of russet red, black, beige deep maroon brown on one half, then folded and sewn to the rest of the plain brown panel. This woven rectangular pocket-like shape may have been intended to use as a large storage bag known as an ak-chuval. The horizontal geometric registers on central field are known as guls and function as tribal emblems. The Tekke are a nomadic Turkmen tribe, the ak-chuval is traditionally handwoven by women using wool from their herds of sheep or goats, and these massive bags contained their possessions while traveling. This is a beautiful example that showcases their remarkable weaving skills and traditional patterns! Size: 57" L x 34" W (144.8 cm x 86.4 cm)
This piece was owned by Peggy Slappey, a renowned collector of Uzbek art. Her collection was featured at the Birmingham Museum of Art (March 19th, 2016 to July 10th, 2016) for an exhibition on Uzbek ikat textiles.
Provenance: private Dunwoody, Georgia, USA collection; ex-Peggy Slappey collection
