- Lot Description
Central Asia, Turkmenistan, Yomut (Yomud) people, ca. first half of the 19th century CE. A lengthy textile section from a tent band, made with hand knotted wool pile in lovely red and blue on a simple woven white ground. The iconography features abstract imagery inspired by flora and fauna in a stylized manner, with an emphasis on geometry, angularity, and symmetry. The interior motifs are surrounded by a border that consists of a red triangular zig zagging line and a solid band of alternating rhomboid shapes in hues of red and blue. The center patterns consist of several registers of maze-like linear, curvilinear, triangular, and geometric interlocking shapes. These stunning textile bands were traditionally made by Turkmen women, woven in one piece on a narrow, horizontal loom. A single band could take up to three years to complete. Size: 67.5" L x 9.25" W (171.4 cm x 23.5 cm)
Yomut or Yomud are nomadic Turkmen tribes that reside from Gorgan to Turkmenbashi and eastern Caspian shores; Khiva and Dashoguz. Woven tent bands are crucial components of trellis tents, which the nomads who have lived in the region for 1500 years use as their homes. Bands wrap around the lower part of the wooden roof struts, providing the tension necessary to brace the roof dome and support the tent as strong winds roar across the steppes. This is a stunning example that showcases their remarkable weaving!
