Yomut Dyrnak Rug
Yomut tribe, Caspian region
Ornament & symbolism
The diamond-shaped dyrnak gül is edged with latch-hooks said to ward off the evil eye. Yomut work is a touch more angular and indigo-shadowed than Tekke.
GülGül — A repeating medallion that acts as a tribal emblem on Turkmen carpets. Each tribe — Tekke, Yomut, Saryk — has its own recognisable gül.Pile weavePile weave — A knotted carpet: short tufts of wool or silk are knotted onto the warp and trimmed, giving a soft, dense, hard-wearing surface.
History
The Yomut roamed the steppe east of the Caspian. Their weaving favours hooked, lattice güls and a darker, browner red — prized for its restraint and graphic clarity.
Suits these interiors
Graphic enough for a modern hallway or study; the hooked lattice reads almost like an abstract print against pale plaster walls.
