Description: Genuine tribal rug from Central Asia. Containing Turkoman motives originating in the iconography of the early Yomut. Transformed into a this derivant symbolism by the Baluchi weaver who made this rug. Even so the motifs on first sight look Turkoman they are independent. They can not be found in Turkoman weavings in this form. It is rare to find a piece like this in a good condition. This greatly enhances the joy when looking at it. It can still be used anywhere in a house. Thank you for your interest. Sincerely yours Hans-Joachim Homm (Germany) Very good for the age. Good pile with almost original length.The sides (shirazi) are all there. The flatwoven kilim ends are still there. These kilim ends show only minimal local
