Gökleň carpet
The Gökleň carpet (also: Göklen or Goklan ) is a Turkmen carpet that belongs to the “Ýomuts (Yomuds)” type and covers a distribution area from the Caspian Sea to Khiva in Uzbekistan . A possibly greater provenance is still in Persian territory. So along the banks of the Atrak south of the Kopet-Dag .
Most of the well-known Bukhara carpets such as bridges of Persian origin are products of the "Goklanen". Typical Tekke and Ýomut patterns are paraphrased . These consist of octagonal rose motifs ("octagon güls") or hooked rhombuses . A light red or a red supported by brown tones up to a purple dark red characterize the color of these carpets.
The "silver Bukhara", which have a white background, should be emphasized. Another specialty is the “ silk Buchara”, which comes up with a cream-colored or ruby-red background. The structures of the carpets are smooth and have a medium-high pile . The knotting density of the woolen specimens is around 280,000 Persian knots per square meter and of the silk around 400,000 Persian knots.
