ENGSI

The Turkmen term for a rug employed as a tent-door cover is indeed "ensi". It's a type of Turkmen rug that was traditionally used to cover the entrance of a yurt. The ensi design is characterized by a bold geometric pattern and is typically made by the Turkmen women. The ensi rug serves not only as a decorative piece but also as a protective covering for the tent entrance, keeping out dust and providing insulation.
