The Vok dragon sumakh is considered one of the most beautiful surviving examples. Wertime and Wright assume that it was made in Tabasaran. A white cartouche close to the side of the field contains a date, \"1224\" corresponding to 1810 in the Christian calendar. Compared to other dragon sumakhs, the wide format is striking and may be a further indication of the item\u2019s age. It allows the design, derived from older dragon carpets, to unfold freely and develop large sweeping shapes. The only peer to this example is a dragon sumakh from the Wolff-Diepenbrock Collection, exhibited at the Munich V\u00f6lkerkundemuseum in 1978 and later sold by us, but the latter differs from the Vok sumakh in the design of the main border. \u2013 Good condition.","index":"A86\/28","index2":"","intro":"","literature":"SPUHLER, FRIEDRICH, K\u00d6NIG, HANS & VOLKMANN, MARTIN, Alte Orientteppiche.

Composed of two panels, the plainwoven ground is decorated with exactly five hundred animals executed in the sumakh technique. Traversing the field from right to left, the animals \u2013 large peacock-like birds, quadrupeds and smaller birds wearing crowns on their heads \u2013 are arranged in an alternating sequence. The three rows of large peacocks catch the viewer\u2019s eye. The ground is studded with a vast number of tiny crosses. A narrow border of colourful diamonds and halved diamonds frames this woven picture. The border design changes to reciprocal trefoils at the bottom right only. The same design is encountered in some horse covers, for instance an example published by Sabahi. \u2013 Original finishes all around, restored areas at the upper finish, minor darned sections.

Fine blue-black twigs \u2013 some of them running straight, some curved \u2013 form an irregular diamond lattice in the field. Each diamond compartment contains a large bottle-shaped flower resembling an amphora in shape. Diagonally flanked by two botehs, each of their thin stems holds a calyx of two long scrolled leaves with serrated outlines, each enclosing a further boteh. We do not know of any further examples of exactly the same composition. A Lakai suzani sold by us in 1991 is comparable in style and shows similar amphora motifs in the field. An example published by Yanai in an exhibition catalogue of the Haaretz Museum, Tel Aviv, is even more closely related as both suzanis share the main border design of fan-shaped blossoms and diagonal pairs of leaves. However, in the Vok example the designs are drawn more elaborately and elegantly, and their colours are more richly varied. The Vok suzani 38 and the Tel Aviv example are considered the oldest known items in the group; they definitely date from the first half of the 19th century and may be even earlier. Usually embroidered on a silk ground, this type was made well into the second half of the 19th century (see the orange-ground example in Grube). \u2013 The thin cotton ground is damaged or has worn away altogether in many places, where the suzani has been backed with fabric. Otherwise in good condition. Backed with canvas.","index":"A86\/34","index2":"","intro":"","literature":"YANAI, YIGAL, Suzani.

The weaver focused on essentials, creating an expressive and downright daring composition. A modern artist could not have done any better. She dispensed with outlines, allowing the colours to collide, and did not include any of the additional designs usually encountered. The square compartments are arranged into colour diagonals, but the weaver did not strictly adhere to her scheme, resulting in appealing irregularities that imbue the kilim with a particular sense of excitement. A narrow border of halved polygons surrounds the field. This very old example is woven in the weft interlocking technique to avoid slits along the edges of each colour section. \u2013 Slight signs of age and wear, stains, some damage to the bottom right where the item has been backed with fabric.","index":"A86\/35","index2":"","intro":"","literature":"","published":"VOK, IGNAZIO, Vok Collection.

A wide blue contour band sharply divides the two undecorated colour sections. It forms serrated outward gables and rectangular inward protrusions outlined in shapes resembling zip fasteners. The resulting composition harks back to the basic concept of saf multiple prayer kilims. Each end of the kilim terminates in wide a \u201cskirt\u201d composed of three densely patterned horizontal stripes. The precision of drawing, memorable field design and excellent quality of the colours make this kilim one of the outstanding examples in the Vok Collection. Herrmann assumes that the kilim was woven by Hotamis Turkmen, probably for use at a funeral. It was customary to donate the kilims to the local mosque after the ceremony. \u2013 Signs of wear in the field, minor repairs, otherwise well preserved.","index":"A86\/39","index2":"","intro":"","literature":"","published":"HERRMANN, EBERHART, Asiatische Teppich- und Textilkunst 1.

Three large tree-like forms, alternately light red and blue, are aligned vertically along the central axis of the otherwise plain field. Their sides are decorated with long and slim parmakli outlines (parmakli being the Turkish word for \"finger\"), creating a feathered appearance. This justifies the assumption that the designs may be abstract representations of birds. Birds played an important part in early nature cults. The sides of the Vok kilim are decorated with light red triangles all around, a serrated barrier to protect against threats and evil outside influences. In the San Francisco kilim the points are brown, creating a somewhat more austere appearance. According to Hirsch, the Vok kilim was made in one of the villages situated between K\u00fctahya and Tavsanli located further to the north-west. \u2013 Reduced at the bottom, signs of age and wear, several rewoven areas, stains.

Two g\u00fcl-like box shapes are aligned along the central axis of a narrow red field separated from the border by lateral \u201czip fastener\u201d outlines, with three stepped polygons of different sizes arranged beneath them. The green triangular gable decorated with large hooks and flanked by four lateral secondary motifs appears to float at the upper end of the field. The powerful serrated designs of the border are particularly impressive. Hirsch assumes that the kilim was used at a funeral and subsequently donated to the local mosque. \u2013 Very good condition.","index":"A86\/49","index2":"","intro":"","literature":"","published":"HERRMANN, EBERHART, Seltene Orientteppiche 10.

The white ground of the field \u2013 woven from wool and cotton and thus lighter than in comparable pieces \u2013 brings out the full brilliance of the colours. The great precision of the drawing and meticulous execution of even the smallest details are testimony to the weaver\u2019s extraordinary skill. Moreover, she has succeeded in entirely avoiding the misalignment of the design along the central axis so frequently encountered in two-panel kilims \u2013 a remarkable feat considering that the two panels were not woven simultaneously, but in succession, and that a cartoon was not used. The three large primary designs aligned along the central axis of the field represent a rare type encountered in only a very few other kilims. Most of the small filler motifs inserted between the primary and secondary ornaments are embroidered. \u2013 Very good condition.","index":"A86\/52","index2":"","intro":"","literature":"PETSOPOULOS, YANNI, Der Kelim.
