. "Renowned for their knotted-pile carpets and storage bags, Turkmen weavers also produced magnificent examples of wearable art such as this remarkable coat. The decoration of the exterior consists of geometric and abstract floral motifs and is among the best examples of Turkmen embroidery. The abstract exterior decoration contrasts with the interior of the coat, which is lined with a bright floral-printed cotton made in Russia. The coat, a rare example of its type, is likely the work of either the Chodor or Yomut Turkmen."@en . . .
