Description from the seller

Beautiful Bochara or Bukhara of the Ersari nomads.
Named after the city of Bukhara in Uzbekistan because these carpets were widely sold there.
The city was located on the Silk Road.
Gifted edges and head ends.
Beautiful gloss in the wool and an overall high pile.
In good condition

12 guls, also called elephant feet due to their shape.
Each sub tribe or group has its own goal.
Centuries-old feature
Beautiful wide rim.
Original main ends.
Skillfully and tightly knotted on uncolored goat hair chain threads that end in fringes.
There are just as many fringes above as below in the photo, but I folded them back for the picture.
