jumod Turkmen sumakh kilim
antique Nomadic Turkmen jumod sumakh kilim.
One of the many Turkomen tribes, the Yomuts, officially residents of
that part of Southern Central Asia east of the Caspian Sea, currently
known as Turkmenistan, are known for their varied and fine large carpets
and kilims. The Yomut fled from Imperial in the nineteenth
century and again from the Soviets in the twentieth century and now also
occupy parts of both North East and North West Afghanistan. A
fairly large group of Yomut families now live in Heart in Afghanistan.
Turkomen kilims, rectangular and often large, are recognized by their
deep red madder background with the traditional stylized Turkoman Guls
or flowers woven in dark brown, black or blue wool. The Gul design
varies according to the Turkomen tribe, of which a number are known for
kilims, bags (juvals), tent bands and animal trappings as well as for
the more famous Turkoman pile carpets. These tribes include the Salor,
the Tekke, the Ersari and as in this case, the Yomut. The complete
kilim, with highlighting details in ivory white, generally shows very
little diversity in pattern composition except for the end panels. These
are often decorated with brocaded amulet motifs where the weaver can
show her artistic ability. Good examples are finely woven and this
particular kilim, more than 80 years old according to the colour and
weave, easily falls into that category. This kilim has hardly been used
and has been stored for a long period of time. It is in excellent
condition, and has a fine end border individualized by the weaver.
