Turkmen Yomut Chuval 1343

A rare and finely knotted 19th-century Turkmen Yomut Chuval bagface from the steppes of Central Asia, this exceptional tribal textile reflects the artistic sophistication of nomadic weavers. Hand-knotted using extraordinarily fine wool and boasting a high knot density, this piece exhibits both technical precision and rich cultural heritage.

The field is adorned with two distinct small medallions, or “Guls,” rendered in soft blue, green, ivory, and brown—colors that harmonize beautifully against the rich ground and illustrate the mastery of color and pattern for which the Yomut tribes are known. Originally part of a storage or transport bag, this bagface is a testament to utilitarian artistry, where even everyday objects were imbued with aesthetic significance.
