This scarce antique Yomut Turkmen Ok Bash tent-pole bag originates from Turkmenistan in Central Asia, dating from circa 1900. Crafted in the Turkmen tribal style, the textile measures 109 cm high, 32 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. The piece is hand-woven from wool using natural dyes, displaying a rich velvety wool pile with a wool foundation construction. Its geometric decoration includes a prominent chevron pattern rendered in rust brown, indigo blue, and cream, accompanied by a lighter blue tone. The utilitarian item is complete with long braided wool ties at the top and an extensive arrangement of multi-coloured tassels hanging from the lower edge. It remains in very good condition, presenting minor moth damage to the pile. In a contemporary interior, this textile wall hanging suits a narrow wall space to add a textural ethnic element to a room.

FAQs

An Ok Bash (also written as Uk Bash) is a traditional handwoven textile bag crafted by nomadic Turkmen tribes, specifically designed to fit over and protect the bundled ends of wooden yurt poles during transport.

These textiles are hand-woven using hand-spun sheeps wool dyed with natural plant and mineral extracts. Construction typically combines flatweave and knotted-pile techniques, accented with braided wool ties and multi-coloured yarn tassels.

Authentic Yomut pieces feature distinct tribal motifs such as serrated chevrons or diamond patterns, a palette dominated by aubergine, rust brown, and indigo blue, along with slight natural dye variations known as abrash.

These decorative textile artifacts are commonly displayed as tactile wall art, mounted onto a bespoke hanging rod or framed within a shadow box to emphasize the geometric pattern and tassel fringe.

Keep the item out of direct sunlight to prevent natural dyes from fading. Dust softly using a low-suction vacuum attachment with a mesh screen, and consult a professional textile conservator for specialized cleaning.
