Afghan Turkoman Rug
222 x 151 cm

$2,100

The Engsi Turkoman Rug is one of the most symbolic and revered weavings of the Turkoman tribes, traditionally used as a door hanging at the entrance of a yurt. More than functional, it served as a threshold—both physical and spiritual—marking the division between the inner world and the outer. Woven with powerful geometry and deep natural dyes, each panel within the rug carries tribal meaning and protective intent. Rich in symbolism, rare in form, and deeply tied to nomadic life, the Engsi remains one of the most beautiful and culturally significant Turkoman rugs.
