Hallway Runner Rugs (1ft x 37.07ft), Country of Origin: Central Asia, Circa Date: 1800s. This exceptional textile is an authentic example of nomadic weaving, specifically a tent band, or yolami, created by the Yamoud tribe during the 1800s in the region of Central Asia. Unlike typical floor coverings, this piece is composed of long, narrow panels designed for structural use within a yurt, making it an extraordinary example of Hallway Runner Rugs (1ft x 37.07ft) in form, though not in original intent. The sheer length and intricate construction classify it as a rare find among antique rugs of Central Asian origin. The complex, highly stylized geometric motifs are arranged in a repeating, continuous fashion, forming a powerful allover design that showcases the weaver's mastery of the traditional Turkmen vocabulary.
