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.
