So-called Bochara or Bukhara carpets are knotted by the Turkmen people in the steppe of the Near East. The settlement area of ​​the Turkmen 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, Bochara (Bukhara = main trading place for carpets). For the sake of simplicity, all carpets with a red base color and a corresponding pattern were often referred to as Bokhara carpets. Although the pattern structure is always similar, there are very large differences in the knotting and knot density.
This rug is a knot from northern Pakistan, where many variations of these popular patterns have been knotted since the 1950s.
