Rugs and Trappings of Central Asia: The Collection of Dennis Dodds and Zinaida Vaganova

ABOVE: TURKMEN TRAPPING, ASMALYK, Yomut family, circa 1800-50. The use of emerald green, indigo and yellow, in addition to two tones of madder-based dyes on the full-pile, dark aubergine ground is striking. Note the serrated leaves that curve gently downward in an example of purposeful, controlled weaving using offset, symmetric knotting.
