this is the other rug I picked up on a garage sale - I belive it is an Ersari Ensi - but I would really appreciate any further information on it ! Thank you in advance for your help.
This one is also Ersari Turkmen work, also from the early 20th century, about the same period as your ensi. The other rug is an ensi, but this one is a standard smaller tent rug. I hope someone comes on to name the main gul; alas, I have known the name but it escapes me at the moment.
Memory serves well today; referring to Dick Parsons' book The Carpets of Afghanistan, this piece fits well with his examples from the 1930s, of work done by the Sulayman tribe residing in and around Andkhoy in northern Afghanistan.
