The patterns that decorate the surface of Turkmen carpets are geometrical 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.
