Description
Recently acquired from the private collection of a deceased client, this rare and powerful Turkmen 'chuval' - storage bag-face - was most likely made by the Kizyl Ayak tribe during the early to mid 19th century.What is particularly rare is the use of the 'dyrnak' gul, used as a minor gul here whereas amongst the Yomut Turkmen, it would have been used as a main gul or crest. At a guess, I'd say with this piece, we have a Yomut woman married into the dominant Kizyl Ayak tribe and able to use her gul as a minor ornament!
The magnificent madder-red field is stunning and the chuval is complete and in excellent condition.
Size: 1.37m x 0.92m (4' 6" x 3' 0").
