The field of this carpet is entirely covered with a staggered pattern of polychrome "Dyrnak" gühls with scolopendras.

Rare graphics and beautiful polychromy. "In the 19th century, the Tékké tribe was the most important of all Turkmen tribes, occupying most of the area between the Caspian Sea and the Amou-Daria river. The motifs that decorate the surface of Turkmen carpets are geometric patterns called Gühls. Each Turkmen tribe has its own way of defining and stylizing this motif, which characterizes them. The main tribes are the Tékké, Yomud, Kizil-Ayak, Djafarbay, Göklan and others. These Turkmen carpets, which were knotted in the first part of the 20th century, have a very fine knot and a silky, patinated wool. The cities of Bukhara and Samarkand, now in Uzbekistan, were for hundreds of years major cities on the Silk Road.
