The Gushly Göl
The breakup of the Oguz Turk confederation dates back for about for over 700 years. Therefore when we see shared design attributes we know that the design predates the point at which the split occured. The three main Ohguz groups can best be defined by language group. The primary Oguz descendents are the Norther Azeri, the southern Azeri, and the Turkmen. So when we see the design in both the Azeri groups and the Turkmen groups we know it is an Oguz design.
Take for example the rug illustrated as plate 33 in Mackie, Louise & Thompson, Jon. Turkmen a 18th c. or earlier Turkish rug stolen from the Great Mosque in Divrigi mosque in Turkey (now believed to be in an English collection). This rug has a gul that bears a marked resemblence to the Gushly Göl/Teke Göl. So if these shared characteristics occur in Central Asia and in Turkey then it stands to reason that the Göl is a Turkmen Göl that predates the Ersari/Azeri (Saljuk/Saltuq) split in the 13th century.
Gushly Göl
The Gushly Göl (trade name - Gulli Gul) is the primary main carpet Göl of the Ersary Confederation including the breakaway Salyr and it's offshoots including the Saryk and Teke.

Guide to Turkmen Namazlyk - Prayer Rugs: "Beshir Prayer Rugs
The Beshir fall under the Arsary/Ersari confederation which split from the Salor dominated Turkmen confederation at a point after the foundation of the Janid dynasty and certainly no later than early in the Manghit dynasty. The Arsary are the eastern Turkmen who moved into the areas of the Khanates of Bukhara and Balkh. In the time that time Nadir Shah of Persia conquered Bukhara in 1740 and the Manghit Uzbeks took over the Khanate after the death of nadir shah in 1747 a clear split emerged between the western Turkmen in the Khanate of Khiva and those to the east. The Western Turkmen included the Salor/Salyr which still included the Saryk and the Teke/Tekke as well as the Yomut and Chowdur. To the east were the Arsary/Ersari who were in a separate market from their western cousins and subsequently developed a different esthetic. In this group are the Beshir who weave a significantly different style rug than those to the west.
