Turkmen Bag Face, 1800s. Creator: Unknown
Turkmen Bag Face, 1800s. The front of this bag, called a bag face, displays the distinctive hallmarks of the Saryk tribe. The main guls, or lobed motifs, are subdivided in quadrants and alternate with angular minor guls in staggered rows. It is the oldest known weaving of the Saryk tribe, with a soft red ground colour and white cotton and magenta silk pile highlights. Essential storage containers, bags were suspended from wall trellises inside tents and transported by pack animals during seasonal migrations. Bags were woven in one piece with pile on the upper part for the front face and plain weave on the lower part for the back face, and then folded and sewn along both sides

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Turkmen artistry from the 1800s. Created by an unknown artist, this Turkmen Bag Face is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the Saryk tribe. The front face of this bag features distinct hallmarks that define the tribe's unique style. The bag's design is characterized by its main guls, or lobed motifs, which are divided into quadrants and interspersed with angular minor guls in staggered rows. This particular weaving holds great historical significance as it is considered the oldest known example from the Saryk tribe. Adorned with soft red tones as its ground color, this bag also incorporates white cotton and magenta silk pile highlights, adding depth and texture to its overall appearance. Bags like these were not only practical storage containers but also served as decorative elements within tents during seasonal migrations. Woven in one piece with intricate detailing, this bag features pile on its upper part for the front face and plain weave on the lower part for the back face. Carefully folded and sewn along both sides, it represents a true masterpiece of textile artistry. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this heritage artifact offers us a glimpse into Turkmenistan's rich cultural heritage. With 252 symmetrical rug knots per square inch meticulously woven using wool, cotton, and silk materials; it stands as an enduring symbol of tradition and beauty passed down through generations.
