Eagle Group 2 Asmalyk

Description

first half 19th century, 74 x 129 cm, Central Asia, North East Persia / South West Turkestan

This rare Goklen asmalyk is broadly similar to the two examples exhibited at the Hamburg Volkerkundemuseum in 1993. Their field designs differ very little; their structure, pile material and palette are closely related. We can assume that all three derive from the same lineage and were woven at roughly the same time. However, they diverge in their border designs.
