"In the 19th century, the tribe of Teke was the most important of all Turkmen tribes and occupied most of the area between the Caspian Sea and the Amu Darya River. The patterns that decorate the surface of Turkmen carpets are geometric patterns called Güls. Each Turkmen tribe has its own way of defining and stylizing this pattern in its own way, which characterizes them. The main tribes are the Teke, the Youmud, the Kizil-Ayak, the Djafarbay, the Göklan and others. These Turkmen carpets, which were knotted in the first part of the 20th century, have a very fine knot and a silky patina wool. The cities of Bukhara and Samarkand, which are today in Uzbekistan, were for hundreds of years the cities of importance on the silk road. "
