turkoman dowry piece from a Wyoming estate sale. a bit bigger than a kitchen sink, as usual, 28 by 38 inches or so. Pile everywhere, the ivory lower than the other colors (you would expect the brown-black to be lower, but not.) i think the reliable guess 1900-1910 means this is absolutely100 years old. Quite literally stunning work, and the use of a really, really nice green wool sets this apart from the pack. Note the finished ends and edges, no erosion as is common. Saryk major elements, the usual chemchi minor device.
