Antique Turkmen Asmalyk, Yomut Tribes, Trans-caspian Steppes, Turkmenistan, Central Asia.

19th century
Description

Asmalyks were made in pairs as part of the bride's dowry and hung on the flanks of the wedding camel during the wedding procession. Once presented to the bridegroom as part of her dowry, he would hang them up in their wedding yurt for the rest of their married lives. Symbolically, they represented power and fertility.

This beautiful Asmalyk was made during the mid 19th century with a field design of 'ashiks' not seen after 1880. The natural colours are superb and incorporate a magnificent early turquoise colour. It is complete with hanging cords and bar one tiny repair in the upper right cord, it is in excellent condition.

Size: 69cm wide x 47cm high (2' 3" wide x 1' 6" high).
