This antique Yomut okbash from Central Asia originates from circa 1890 in the Turkmen tribal style. Woven from wool, the textile displays a terracotta, navy blue, and ivory colour palette with a prominent chevron pattern, a serrated edge border, and latch-hook motifs. The decorative upper border and triangular lower pennants carry intricate geometric patterns finished with fringes. The piece measures 45 cm high, 30 cm wide, and 1 cm deep. Originally created by Yomut nomads as a functional covering for tent poles during migrations, the okbash now serves as a decorative wall hanging in domestic interiors. It suits a narrow wall space in a living room, hallway, or bedroom, bringing a distinct bohemian aesthetic to modern homes. The textile has been washed and is ready for immediate display.

FAQs

An Okbash is a traditional woven textile bag or cover crafted by nomadic Yomut Turkmen tribes of Central Asia, historically designed to protect and decorate the ends of tent poles during seasonal migrations.

Turkmen tribal textiles are hand-woven using hand-spun sheep wool dyed with natural vegetable and mineral pigments, constructed with precise knotting techniques to form geometric patterns.

Authentic late 19th-century pieces feature rich natural dye variations, precise geometric symmetry, serrated latch-hook motifs, and a soft texture resulting from aged hand-spun wool.

Mounted on a neutral wall or framed within a modern acrylic display box, an antique tribal textile introduces geometric structure and organic texture to contemporary living spaces.

Display the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading, vacuum lightly using low suction with an upholstery nozzle, and consult a specialist conservator for deep cleaning.
