An Ersari weaving group of the middle Amu Darya, known for Persian-influenced floral ornament rather than the strict tribal gül.
Beshir is an Ersari weaving group of the middle Amu Darya, named after a town on the river. What sets Beshir work apart is its leaning toward Persian-influenced floral ornament rather than the strict tribal gül.
That openness shows in patterns like the Mina Khani lattice and in sweeping vinework and cloudband borders. Beshir rugs also tend to use a distinctive yellow or gold, less common elsewhere in Turkmen weaving, alongside the usual madder reds and indigo blues.
