Product description
Beautiful authentic Bochara.
Antique, made at least 100 years ago.
With wool from their own sheep and dyes they made themselves from plants in their area.
Knotted on undyed goat hair warp threads.
The octagonal shapes are called "Guls.
Each tribe has or had its own Gul symbol.
This red is very beautiful, quite soft in color and with 'abrash,' which is the mixture of colors you see.
Because you don't see one monotone color but 100 little nuances, charm of handwork.
Beautiful walked condition. No holes.
These carpets used to be made by Ersari nomads.
They lived on the grasslands in Turkmenie between northern Afghanistan and Uzbekistan.
These carpets are always attributed to Afghanistan but as you can see above that was only a small part of this people.
Bochara is the capital of Uzbekistan, the place on the Silk Road where these nomads sold their carpets. Hence the name.
