Antique Turkmen Jollar, Sariq Tribe, Yolatan Oasis, Turkmenistan, Central Asia.

19th century
Description

The Turkmen 'jollar' was a wedding camel decoration, made during the last quarter of the 19th century by Sariq tribes in the Yolatan Oasis region of Turkmenistan.

The Sariq were regarded as the heirs and custodians of the ancient weaving traditions of the Salor, the oldest and once the most powerful and aristocratic Turkmen tribe who were virtually anihilated in battle with the Persian Qajars around 1830. So much so, they lost power in Turkmenistan to the Teke and their weaving died out.

The Sariq, like their Turkmen neighbours, had a richly varied range of pile weavings, all established and essential elements of nomadic everyday life. Jollars hold a special place in this multifarious repertoire.

This beautifully made trapping has strong reminders of the decorative idiom of the Salor. This is particularly true of the field, with its red and blue honeycomb lattice, filled with a repeat of the 'shemle' pattern, probably derived from a naturalistic palmette blossom.

This beautiful jollar contains highlights of cochineal-dye silk throughout, indicating it was quite possibly a prized dowry, presentation piece. The silk highlights can be seen as light-coloured areas in the photos.

The jollar is complete and in excellent condition.

Size: 1.35m x 0.38m (4' 5" x 1' 3").

FAQs

A Jollar is a traditional hand-woven nomadic textile created by Turkmen tribes of Central Asia, historically utilised as a decorative storage bag or tent hanging inside a yurt.

Traditionally hand-knotted using hand-spun sheep wool on a wool warp and weft, these pieces incorporate natural dyes to produce deep tones of red, madder, brown, and indigo.

Authentic Turkmen textiles feature dense symmetrical or asymmetrical hand-knotted pile, distinct tribal gul motifs, natural dye variations, and a supple wool structure.

These long, narrow woven panels work effectively mounted as wall art above furniture, or displayed on a floor or deep ledge to introduce texture and geometric patterning.

Keep the textile away from direct sunlight to minimise colour fading, vacuum gently without a rotating brush, and consult specialist wool cleaners for deeper maintenance.
