Help identifying two Central Asian textiles with tassels

[Annette Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Annette]

Hello, I acquired two pieces and would appreciate help with identification.

Piece 1: A long flat-woven textile (296 x 33 cm) with diamond patterns and tassels – possibly a jajim?

Piece 2: A knotted net piece (150 x 84 cm) with wool pompoms, braided side bands and a woven border showing what appear to be animal motifs on a saffron/orange ground. Possibly an asmalyk or camel deco ration?

Both were acquired in Myanmar from a private person who brought them from an Arab country. Photos attached. Thank you so much! Annette Graf

Hi Annette

First, welcome to Turkotek.

If you go to our Forums page and scroll down you'll find a topic called "How to insert images ..." That will give you step by step instructions.

Best,
