This is a typical Tekke Boakhara Design Rug, measuring 6 ft 8 in x 4 ft 8 in (207 cm x 145 cm) and which features the unique Deep Red base color for which these rugs are renowned. Boakhara Turkoman, originally created this design in Tekke Turkmenistan in 1800s. Originally, all Tekke Boakhara rugs were produced in the family workshop which continued the tradition of making rugs according to the unique weaving, pattern design and dyeing techniques he developed, but, since the mid 1900s, most of these rugs have been woven around the town of Tekke, located in the Middle of Turkmenistan Tekke tradition of using natural sheep wool, naturally dyed in the deep red tones he first developed, with dark blue or black used for detail. Whilst the Motif detail in the rugs can vary, the pattern is almost always one form of repeated columns of 'Gul' or 'Fil Pai' (Elephant Footprints) adapted from Mohammadi's Ersari Turkoman heritage.
