Beautiful Bukhara Tekké with a timeless "elephant's foot" (göl or gül) motif on a patinated red background with touches of beige and orange in the 'göl'. Arranged in rows, these 'göl' are connected to each other by crosses and lines. There are many borders, which helps balance the carpet. This carpet, of a beautiful dimension, required a lot of mastery in its realization.

Located on the Silk Road, the city of Bukhara was an important center of collection of carpets including the Turkmen and Uzbek tribes such as the tekkés, salors, yomouths, bashir. Nowadays, under this name, is gathered a number of pieces made by the tribes of the vast territory which surrounds this city.
The name of Bukhara also designates carpets decorated with gül going from the northeast of Iran (Khorasan tribe) to the west of Afghanistan (beluche).
A Pakistani name designates a production of carpets taking up this motif, without equaling the quality.
