context_page_description: Teke is a major and politically influential tribe of Turkmens in Turkmenistan.
context_section_description: Historically each Turkmen tribe has had its own unique carpet pattern, clothing, headgear and dialect.  Teke Turkmen carpets often feature a standard Teke rosette (Turkmen: göl), called the guşly göl, which in the words of O'Bannon "has the least variation of all Turkoman guls [sic] and has apparently changed least through time.  This is the design which is also called Royal Bokhara...It is almost always connected by intersecting blue or black lines.  It is an oval-shaped octagon, usually not more than four inches high and eight inches wide.  The secondary gul is a diamond-shaped form and is sometimes referred to as a 'tarantula'."  
  The design of this rosette is reproduced in the layout of the Altyn Asyr Bazaar in Ashgabat, and is the topmost rosette on Turkmenistan's national flag.
