YamutThe repeated design seen on this carpet is called the 'Dyrnak' design. The Dyrnak Gul design, 'Gul' roughly translating to flower head, is a symbolic and intricate motif commonly found in Turkmen carpets, particularly those woven by the Yomut tribe. Representing protection, good luck, and nature elements, this design features a stylized flower or star shape with symmetrical patterns in rich colors like deep reds and blues. Handwoven with traditional craftsmanship using natural dyes, Turkmen carpets, including those with the Dyrnak Gul motif, hold cultural significance as symbols of wealth, status, and hospitality in Turkmen society.
