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

£1,250    $1,679    €1,442
This beautiful torba (small storage bag) was made by Yomut Turkmen in the Trans-Caspian Steppes during the last quarter of the nineteenth century.
 
Torbas or small storage-bags were used by the Turkmen to contain small items of personal belongings, hung on the camels during migrations and then hung on the struts of the yurt during sedentary periods.
 
It has a rare field design of small symbolic guls (tribal crests) with superb shades of madder-red, natural ivory and indigo sky-blue. The torba, which is in excellent condition, retains its plain-weave back and the remains of the hanging cords and tassels at the base.
 
Size: 76cm x 41cm (2'' 6'' x 1'' 4'').
