They used geometrical designs that varied from tribe to tribe; most famous are the Yomut, Ersari, Saryk, Salor and Tekke. Irregularities — considered part of the charm by many rug collectors — were fairly common since natural materials vary from batch to batch and woolen warp or weft may stretch, especially on a loom that is regularly folded up for transport and set up anew at another camp.
This Rug is in good condition, has been reduced in length and has abrash, the weaver has used two or tree different background color, the rug has good pile all over throughout the rug, cleaned and no stained, the ends and sides of the rug are intact as original. less
