Saryk (Chuval?) Fragment, 87 cm. x 74 cm. 3 rd. qtr. 19 th. century. The purple-red ground is probably of cochineal origin. The weave resembles that of the Ersari, but is much finer. This hybrid type is believed to originate in the Pendeh oasis, showing both Ersari and Saryk influences. Interesting ethnographic origin.
