Complete Kazakh or Kirghiz Yurt/Tent Band (Baskur)
12" (30,5 cm) wide x approx. 38'-0" long (1158 cm)
White cotton warp and weft with wool pile in five colors (bright red, light brown, dark brown, yellow/beige, undyed ivory wool)
A few small tears in the warp-faced flatwoven ground, some red dye run visible on the reverse. Pile is in uniformly good condition. Flatwoven selvedges are hemmed under the outermost borders.
I believe this to be an early 20th-Century non-Turkmen Central Asian example, but some of the field devices appear closely related to Yomut Turkmen analogs. The weft-float pattern in the end finishes bears a strong resemblance to the lone Kazakh example published in Elena Tzareva's Rugs and Carpets from Central Asia: The Russian Collections (plate 149, page 205)
