Tentzakvoorblad c. 1850

"Tentzakvoorblad" is a traditional Turkmen rug woven by the Tekke people around 1850. It features a bold, geometric pattern with a red background and intricate motifs in beige and black. These rugs are known for their durable construction and their use of natural dyes. They are often woven in long, narrow shapes and have a distinctive fringe on the ends. This particular rug, measuring 32 cm in height and 76 cm in width, is a prime example of the Tekke people's intricate weaving traditions.
