About the Item

This Yomud rug (2.5 x 3.8) showcases the characteristic geometric patterns and bold motifs of the Yomud tribe, part of the Turkmen weaving tradition. The unusual design element on the left side of the rug appears to be a distinctive feature known as a "woven kilim end" or possibly a "broadened selvage." This technique is often used in tribal weavings to reinforce the edges or incorporate a utilitarian aesthetic into the design. The large, undecorated panel creates a dramatic contrast to the intricate field of repeating geometric motifs, emphasizing the visual hierarchy of the rug. This may have been intentionally woven as a symbolic or practical element, potentially representing an area left blank for religious, cultural, or functional purposes, such as storage or transportation. It's a fascinating and unique feature that enhances its collectible and conversational appeal.
