 TIBETAN CARPETS: FROM A CULTURAL CROSSROAD by Tom Cole Originally appeared in Vol 13, #3 An early article that I wrote many years ago, with some interesting ideas, some of which have formed the basis for the subsequent research and text prepared for The singular nature of the both dragon throne back rugs endures over the test of time; I have not seen analogous examples in the interim. Nor have I seen another rug like the Plate 1, a finely woven carpet with exceptional dyes, of the same group as... - http://www.tcoletribalrugs.com/article57TibetORRCrossroads.html 17/12/2006 - Category: Tibetan - More from this publisher

GUIDE TO KHOTAN RUGS AND CARPETS
 Guide to Khotan Rugs and Carpets There are a group of oasis towns in the Khotan (Hotan) in the southern Uygur Autonomous Region of Xinjiang of Communist occupied China. Chinese Turkistan or East Turestan has had a steady production of carpets since at least the 17th century. Now some of the high end rtug dealers suggest that this production of carpet was started by the impotation of Mughal carpets from India. I have a problem with this theory. East Turkestan was part of Mogholistan in the 15th ... - http://www.persiancarpetguide.com/Oriental_Rugs/Chinese_Rugs/Khotan_Rugs/Guide_to_Khotan_Rugs.htm 08/11/2006 - Category: Chinese - More from this publisher

 Reflections on the Engsi by Richard Wright Richard Wrights continuing research appears at - "What was the ensi before it became a hanging?" Charles Grant Ellis, 1993 Figure 1. The setting, a map of Turkmenistan and the surrounding environs. Turkmen carpets and carpet-like items have clear functions khali (carpet), torba (bag), iolan (band), and so forth. One, however, may not be so straight-forward, the engsi. For any such question the proper starting point is a relevant dictionary (c... - http://www.tcoletribalrugs.com/article44WrightEngsi.html 08/11/2006 - Category: Turkmen - More from this publisher

THEMES IN AFSHAR WEAVING
 THEMES IN AFSHAR WEAVING An Exhibition at Adraskand Original text & photos appeared in Over the years I have had a number of occasions to review exhibitions at the Adraskand Gallery, now moved from Point Reyes to San Anselmo in California's Marin County, and have never come away disappointed. The focus of these shows has always been on those aspects of Oriental rugs I might describe as "artistic quality," in which vibrant color, excellence of design, and rarity are often given gre... - http://www.tcoletribalrugs.com/article46AdraAfshars.html 24/05/2006 - Category: Persian - More from this publisher

The Tamga by Richard Wright Richard Wright's continuing research appears at - Figure 1. . European Russia became aware of Turkmen carpet art not long after the empire's expansion across Siberia and then south into Central Asia. The first instance was a folio (1879) compiled by N. E. Simakov, the product of a typical Russian "scientific" expedition into new colonial territory comprised of engineers, an hydrographer, botanists, a geologist, a zoologist, an art historian, and two painter... - http://www.tcoletribalrugs.com/article48WrightTamga.html 24/05/2006 - Category: Turkmen - More from this publisher

THE AKHAL OASIS
 The Akhal Oasis by Richard Wright Richard Wright's continuing research appears at - Figure 1. . No outsider can get to bedrock with respect to Turkmen rugs. The Akhal oasis, however, may provide an opportunity for finding a few brass tacks. Although nowadays largely ignored in the lexicon, rugs of this small area were a discrete type in the pre-revolutionary Russian Turkmen carpet literature. The Embrace of the Bear Baron Felkersham correctly bounded Akhal as a 240 verst by 20-30 verst (a verst... - http://www.tcoletribalrugs.com/article49WrightAkhal.html 24/05/2006 - Category: Turkmen - More from this publisher

DIAMONDS IN THE PILE
 Diamonds in the Pile by Mark Hopkins This article appeared in Vol. 9/5 Fig. 1 . Large Jaf Kurd bagface, 3'11"x2'10". The diamonds in the field of this striking piece use only five main colors and two additional accent colors (not including the dark brown that separates them).
