Item Details
Description
First half 19th century, 30 x 82 cm, Central Asia, West Turkestan

The rare design of this small red-ground bag face - three vertical white rectangles enclosing a tree motif, small geometric abstract shrubs and a border of "C"-forms - shows a close affinity with Tekke kapunuks. It was not only used by the Tekke, but also by other Turkmen tribes such as the Saryk and Yomut. Tent bags smaller than a torba are described as mafrash or kap. - Complete with the kilim back; some damage to the sides. The ruby silk sections of the pile are corroded.
