Ersari Chuval

4' 2" X 2' 5”

Ersari chuvals with dyrnak secondary guls are not uncommon, but the wide horizontal spacing of very tall guls gives this piece a very austere and spacious effect. Several design features stand out: the secondary guls sit on their own colored backgrounds, distinct from the main field color; all the borders have unusual designs, with the squiggly strips in the secondary borders being particularly outstanding.
