Very beautifull Linda! the ikat and the silver work are great,

but sorry I think this is an ERSARI not a YOMUD piece.

Just off the top of the head, I would also say Ersari.

Could be but the bezels to me look very Yomud as well the silver pieces. Never thought about it being Ersari i guess it could be.

Do you have any photos of something similar? if it is Yomud then it's those living in Chorizm but also the Ersari , Olam etc are very similar from this area. The items of Yomud in this area are either very plain and not very ornamented or ones which take on over ornamentation.

I found something similar that is described as being Qara- Dashly in Choresm. I found another similar in the Gull book D-18 being described as Yomud. Several similar type same book unatributed.
