Antique Turkmen Torba, Teke Tribes, Turkmenistan, Central ...
Item Ref
BM1405
This torba, with its cochineal or lac dye ground, is a rare type referred to as the 'eagle-gul' group. The reason for this name is given to torbas and chuvals which have half-guls disappearing under the top and bottom borders. Made by Teke Turkmen during the mid 19th century, the torba is in pretty good overall condition for its age, although I have had the sides very slightly reduced due to damage and new selvedges sewn-in.
Size: 1.10m x 0.46m (3' 7" x 1' 6").
