A Comparative Study of Turkmen Asmalyks and North American Chilkats(A Formal Approach)

In the present article, the two main historical and cultural fields in the east (Turkmens) and the west (Amerindians) have been taken into consideration with regards to their exclusive products. As a result, similar and dissimilar aspects are determined. What have been observed mostly were particular types of weavings named Turkmen Asmalyk and Eskimos Chilkat. Therefore the qualitative andvisual properties, with respect to the cultural and tribal backgrounds of the weavings and other traditions have been studied. By the did of such similarities and contrasts, we have eventually tried to clarify the origin of similarities and differences.The tests and results show that there are some similar features in the qualitative and visual structure of these weaves such as geometric designs, decorations, naturlism, style, function, and other features. Yet the special distance as weel as religious, classical and geographical differences have all caused the genesis of different characteristics such as preparations, materials, clothings, size, and other things in these two fields.
