Description
Samarkand silk carpet (silk warp, weft and pile), Western Turkestan, circa 1940–1960.
213 x 123 cm
The cognac-coloured ground is embellished with a polychrome floral design.
The main border is decorated with the ‘Yunzaitou’ motif, which H. Bidder identifies as an ancient motif of Turkish origin; this motif held religious significance for the ancient tribes of the Huns and Turks, and is framed by numerous counter-borders.
Good condition.
