Originating in the nomadic heartlands between Merv and Mazar-i-Sharif, it represents the \u003cstrong\u003eErsari\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of the ten major Turkmen tribes of Central Asia. The Ersari are known for their robust construction and their iconic geometric \u003cstrong\u003eGül\u003c\/strong\u003e motifs — the octagonal tribal medallions that march in rows across the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece was hand-knotted in \u003cstrong\u003enorthern Afghanistan, c. 1960s–1970s\u003c\/strong\u003e, from 100% pure virgin wool on a cotton-and-wool foundation. The field carries \u003cstrong\u003eeight large octagonal Güls\u003c\/strong\u003e on a deep rust-red ground; what sets this rug apart is its \u003cstrong\u003eunusually rich, above-average border system\u003c\/strong\u003e — a wide cassette frame of square panels, each holding a star rosette or medallion in light blue, ivory, olive-green and indigo, surrounded by further meander and floral guard stripes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#8b0000;font-size:1.15rem;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:1px;text-transform:uppercase;margin-top:35px;\"\u003eColour and Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base colour shifts gracefully between \u003cstrong\u003ebrick and rust\u003c\/strong\u003e depending on the light.
