Wool, natural dyes
Turkmen rugs trace their lineage to some of the oldest nomadic weaving traditions in Central Asia. Each clan bears its own "tamga"a tribal emblem, woven into the design as a mark of identity. The rug here carries the emblem of the Tekkeh tribe, known for its bold "gul" motifs arranged in perfect symmetry.
The accuracy of these patterns is no accident: in many cases, the "tamga" is passed down not just visually, but through lyrical songs that help the weaver memorise and replicate the design. This oral-visual tradition lends the rug both precision and poetic depth.
With its rich reds and deep tones derived from natural dyes, this piece offers more than decoration, it is a quiet storyteller, carrying echoes of tribal life, memory, and artistry. A striking addition to any living space.
Hand-knotted wool dyed with natural pigments.
