“The best Beshir prayer rug ”
Namazlyk – prayer rug. There is some debate in rug circles about prayer rugs. I think the more meaningful comments are by the Turkmen who refer to Turkmen prayer rugs as Namazlyks. They translate that as Prayer Rug. A few examples:
Sotheby’s Beshir 3 Arch Prayer Rug
Kizil Ajak Prayer Rug

This page is part of a cooperative project with Seyitguly Batyrov of Turkmen Carpets Online to give a proper spelling of common Turkmen terms used in describing rugs.
