AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Adorable yastik size (95 x 50 cm / 37.4 x 20 inches) wedding carpet made by the Tekke Turkmen. Probably made as a wedding gift, depicting the bride on the wedding camel guided by her father to go to the wedding. The father is wearing the traditional "Telpek" fur hat.

The two doves in the upper part of the central field indicate that it is a wedding piece. The text in Cyrillic ("БАГТЛЫ БОЛУН") means 'be happy.'

Late 20th century piece, circa 1960-70, mixed cotton and wool on cotton warps. Aniline colors. Unique tribal piece.
