Kyzil Ayak chuval

The Kizyl Ayak or ‘Red Foot’ Turkmen of the middle Amu Darya area maintain a design repertoire often confused with that of tribes from further west. This tent bag face, in excellent condition, uses the characteristic saturated brick red ground with chuval guls and chemcheh minors that the group is known for. It is accented nicely with green and yellow. A portion of the fine kilim back is preserved at the bottom.
