Yomut Torba

19th century
Description

An attractive Yomut Torba with two large Kepse guls picked out in lovely colours including a fresh blue. Note the edges of surrounding guls disappearing under the border giving an impression of infinity. I love the plum red that you see on Yomut pieces especially when abrashed as can be clearly seen on the elem end of this piece. The typical reciprocal borders flank the white main border which provides a frame for the central field. A very nice example of type with its original backing.

Good condition, some old moth damage and loss to the tassles.

FAQs

A Yomut torba is a small, handwoven wool storage bag produced by nomadic Yomut Turkmen tribes of Central Asia. Traditionally used to store household belongings inside yurt tents, these textiles feature distinctive geometric patterns known as guls.

Turkmen torbas are hand-knotted using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the foundation. Natural dyes derived from plants and minerals provide the characteristic dark red, brown, navy, and ivory shades.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-knotted asymmetry, natural colour variations, and traditional geometric gul patterns specific to the Yomut tribe. The reverse side shows irregular hand-spun warp and weft threads rather than uniform machine stitching.

A tribal torba can be mounted as framed wall art, used as a decorative cushion cover, or draped over a console table or bench. Its rich dark hues and geometric motifs add texture and historic depth to neutral contemporary spaces.

Vacuum gently using a suction-only attachment to prevent damage to the hand-knotted pile and fringe. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent natural dyes from fading, and consult a specialist rug conservator for deep cleaning.
