Hungarian collectors began to show interest in Turkmen carpets in the early decades of the 20th century. There were ten Central Asian carpets in the 1924 Early Oriental Carpet Exhibition of the Hungarian Carpet Collectors in Budapest, nine from private collections and this one from the very small number held by the Budapest Museum of Applied Arts at that time. It has an offset pattern of ivory, blue and red kepse güls on a wine-red ground. The white border, with its severely geometric vine and simple, reciprocal "boats", the running dog guards and the elems (end panels) decorated with stylised floral shapes are ornaments characteristic of Yomut carpets. The upper and lower ends are incomplete, the sides are missing and conserved.
