A handsome antique tribal carpet, woven by the Tekke Turkmen tribal groups in Central Asia. Featuring one of the most iconic designs, this type was often referred to as a "Bukhara" carpet, as Turkmens often sold their highly sought-after carpets in the bazaars of this ancient city. This is a very nice example in a large size and good state of preservation.
