Region: Central Asia ? Turkmen ? Kizil Ayak
Item Type: Rugs and Carpets ? Ensi
Period / Date: 19th century ? third quarter (1850 - 1874)
Materials: wool, goat, and camel
Structure / Technique: pile, asymmetric knot open right
Condition: Good
Comments On Condition: though the pile is a bit uneven
this engsi is totally complete
Full Description: if "Ersari"
means conglomerate then this engsi might be one.
Certainly it is Kizyl Ajak but it also has elements of
the Saryk and Uzbeks. The main border is
compartmentalized with separator bars much like a Tekke.
In this case 16 different designs are employed with
additional variants.

Note the rhomboids composing the apex
of the 'mihrab' are similiar to those composing the apex
of pentanganal asmalyks.
