Mouse Rug - a de Young Early Turkmen
$38.95
Never hot or cold, sticky or 'icky', the MouseRug's surface is made of millions of individual soft nylon microfibers with air space between to provide the most beautiful and comfortable mousing surface on the planet. 25.5cm x 18cm. Carpets, tent and camel trappings, and other knotted pile textiles woven by the Turkmen tribes of Central Asia are some of the most widely admired and passionately collected of all oriental rugs. They are also among the most challenging to comprehend. The relative geographic and linguistic remoteness of the Turkmen coupled with a complex history of tribal movement and interaction have created barriers to the study of Turkmen weaving. The many questions still surrounding Turkmen weavings only add to their mystery and fascination.
