Rare and important ancient fragment of an extraordinarily beautiful Saryk saddle-cover with glistening wool and the finest symmetric knotting i have ever seen in a Turkmen weaving; deeply corrosive brown wool outlines the blue kotchanak border design. One has to separate the blue knots from the red ones to discover the brown outlining deeply couched in the piece; areas of wear and sweat from abrasions where the rider's legs rubbed against the saddle-cover 41" x 19"[104 x 0.49cm] enlarge the image of the back twice to see the photo more clearly!
