  • Very beautifull Linda! the ikat and the silver work are great,

    but sorry I think this is an ERSARI not a YOMUD piece.

  • Just off the top of the head, I would also say Ersari.

  • Could be but the bezels to me look very Yomud as well the silver pieces.  Never thought about it being Ersari i guess it could be. 

  • Do you have any photos of something similar?  if it is Yomud then it's those living in Chorizm but also the Ersari , Olam etc are very similar from this area.  The items of Yomud in this area are either  very plain and not very ornamented  or ones which take on over ornamentation.  

  • I found something similar that is described as being Qara- Dashly in Choresm. I found another similar in the Gull book D-18 being described as Yomud. Several similar type same book unatributed.
