Introduction and Description:
TheYomut carpet is a type of Turkmen rug traditionally handwoven by the Yomut or Yomud, one of the major tribes of Turkmenistan. A Yomut design, along with designs of the four other major tribes, such as Ersari and Tekke, is featured on the coat of armsand the flag of Turkmenistan.
Antique Yomud Rugs - Also known as Yomut, the Yomud is one of the main Turkoman tribes. Frequently the dyrnak gul, kepse, and the tauk muska guls are used on antique Yomud rugs. The colors, primarily burnt sienna with ivory borders, are used to create diagonal or vertical arrangements. These rugs are more colorful than other Turkoman rugs. Repetitive floral motifs, tree motifs and the less frequent bird motifs adorn the centerfield.
Yomut carpet, Yomut also spelled Yomud, floor covering handwoven by the Yomut Turkmen of Turkmenistan, usually of good to excellent quality. In contrast to Tekke carpets, there is considerable variety of design among the larger Yomut carpets. Many have diagonal rows in which a single diamond- or lozenge-shaped motif is repeated with diverse colourings. This motif may be edged with latch hooks; but the most characteristic edging is composed of a graduated group of vertical bands, each of which is graced with tiny florets. A second series of carpets has vertical rows of parti-coloured octagons on which appear tiny, stylized two-headed dogs. The border is usually a highly geometric vine design on white; and end aprons are covered with stylized designs of leaves and stems or, in some cases, elaborate flowering plants.
