| 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

by 4 Kizil Ajak Prayer Rug
Nagel

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.
