Here is a rug and 2 camel bags that my step-mother gave me. She told me that it is a hand made turkish rug that she got on her first tour in Turkey back in 1984. That is really about all that I know about it. It is in good condition. The only problem is that one of my dogs chewed off some of the fringe on the end of the rug. It is almost 8 feet long and 5 feet wide.

If anyone can tell me what kind of rug this is and what the value, with the camel bags, is then I would greatly appreciate it. I have included several pictures that I hope will help out with identifying it. I even put 2 of them with my baby on the rug just cause she is so darn cute :)

Thanks in advance.

The carpet was made in Uzbekistan (Khiva city or Nukus city), but it has a Turkmen Tekke design. In these places a lot of mixed families (uzbek + turkmen) and they make carpets whose quality is low then carpets from Turkmenistan.

The pillows, at least from design and colours, look like they could have been made from two Shahsavan (or Shahsevan) Mafrash flatweave panels (cradle panels), or perhaps some Anatolian mafrash panels. But it is possible that the Mafrash designs was just taken over by other kilim weavers.
