Turkoman Rugs
They are generally very soft and lush and are very distinguishable from other Persian rugs. The patterns are normally all-over geometric details, known as 'guls', repeated in straight lines on the field. These guls vary from one tribe to the other, and also appear in the Bokhara pattern of Kasmir where they are often called the 'lucky elephant's foot'.

animals, tree-of-life or huge medallions, sit on fields of flowers.
