Need help identifying this wall hanging (?)

[Eric-Zwicky]

Hi all,

I initially thought this was a Turkoman weaving, but now I am not so sure. Would anybody here mind giving me their estimation on what this could be?

It's flat-woven, not knotted.

It's missing the tassel on the left side, and some of the fringes at the bottom, but other than that, it's pretty intact. I am going to hang it above one of my interior doors.

Hi Eric,

I believe that flat woven pieces of this sort are generally attributed to the Yomut Turkmen.

Many are attributed to Ersari as well. But either way, it's clearly Turkmen.

Thanks Joel and Steve! I need to do some reading.
