FAQs

An Ersari torba is a traditional handwoven bag crafted by the Ersari tribe of Turkmenistan, historically used as a tent hanging or for storage of household goods.

These pieces were typically constructed from handspun wool for the pile and foundation, utilizing natural plant and insect-derived dyes to achieve deep madder reds and dark indigo tones.

Authenticity is determined by evaluating wool quality, natural colour variations, symmetrical knotting, and traditional tribal motifs such as the gul pattern, alongside signs of genuine age and wear.

An antique torba can be displayed as wall art, laid over a larger plain surface, or mounted on linen to highlight its intricate geometric patterns within a modern living space.

Preservation involves keeping the textile out of direct sunlight, avoiding damp environments, and periodically vacuuming with low suction through a mesh screen to remove dust without damaging the fibres.
