So-called Bukhara carpets are knotted by the Turkmen people in the steppes of the Near East. The Turkmen settlement area includes Iran, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. There are 10 Turkmen tribes - their carpets are named after their names: Salor, Saryk, Tekke, Chodor, Arabatchi, Imreli, Yomud, Ersari, Bukhara (Bukhara = main trading place for carpets). All carpets with a red base color and a corresponding pattern were often referred to as Bochara carpets for the sake of simplicity. Although the pattern structure is always similar, there are very big differences in the knotting and knot density.
This rug was woven in northern Pakistan, where these popular patterns have been knotted in many variations since the 1950s.
