- Lot Description
Central Asia, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan, Turkoman (Turkman) Tekke peoples, ca. early to mid-19th century CE. A beautiful rug known as a torba of a lengthy rectangular form decorated with hues of russet, crimson, chocolate, espresso, and cream. The design is of the 6-gul style (literally "6 flowers") and features six octagonal 'flowers' with petals on the interior and colorful geometric motifs on the exterior. The surrounding spaces and border panels are filled with more simplified floral decorations, and one side of the torba is lined with beige-hued fringe. Size: 44.5" L x 15.875" W (113 cm x 40.3 cm)
According to the curatorial team at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, "Large rectangular carpets such as this one, the most important and expensive weavings created by every Turkmen tribe, are referred to as 'main carpets.' They were the primary floor covering used in Turkmen tents, and were decorated with the main gul, the most important symbol used for each tribe. The nomadic Turkmen of Central Asia are renowned for their technically skilled and visually dramatic weaving."
Cf. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number 22.100.45
