What distinguishes the Turkmenistan carpets is that the warp is made of wool with repeated patterns with göl-motifs and it often has wider borders on the short sides and not on the longer sides. The whole scale of red from purple to brown is a dominating colour. Tekke-Bochara, Ersar, Tschoval, Beshir and Jolam-Bocharaband are all examples of Turkmenistan carpets.
