Yomut chuval

This classic Yomut Turkmen chuval draws iconic quartered ‘guls’ alternating with cruciform minors against a brick-red madder ground. Color is enhanced through copious use of sky-blue. Of special merit here are the subtle proportions of the guls of the field and in particular how those of the center column are more elongated than those of the sides. The trident tipped motifs in the bottom ‘elem’ panel are a variant that is far less seen in these tent bags as well.
