FAQs

A torba is a small, horizontal storage bag traditionally woven by the Tekke tribe of Turkmenistan, typically used in nomadic yurts for storing household goods.

Authentic pieces are crafted from hand-spun sheeps wool for the pile and foundation, often featuring natural plant and insect-derived dyes such as madder root for the characteristic red ground.

Authenticity is determined by examining the fineness of the knotting, the presence of asymmetrical knots open to the left, natural colour variations in the wool, and the characteristic use of guls and elem borders.

These historical textiles are frequently mounted and framed as wall art or displayed on neutral walls to highlight their intricate geometric patterns and rich red tones.

Preservation requires keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, avoiding excessive humidity, and occasionally vacuuming with low suction through a protective mesh screen.
