Antique Ersari Turkmen ensi of traditional design with excellent colour and good age.

Ensi were door hangings used to cover the entrance to a yurt.

The lower end has two elem panels that are beautifully drawn.
The ensi is in fair condition with some wear and medium / low pile. it is probable that the ensi has been reduced in width at some time in its life.
The ensi rug is suitable for light domestic use or would make an outstanding display item.
