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

19th century
Description

Dizlyks were made by the young Turkmen bride to decorate her wedding camel when her 'big day' arrived!

Each dizlyk was tied around the knobbly knees of the wedding camel during the bridal procession and then stored away in a 'bokcha' (wedding chest) until her daughter was ready for marriage.

Made during the second half of the nineteenth century by Yomut tribes in the trans-Caspian Steppes, these beautiful and rare pair of dizlyks are in excellent condition with a soft, lustrous, glossy pile and a beautiful use of green. Today, such dizlyks can look very decorative hung on the wall.

Size: 19cm x 22cm (7.5" x 8.5") excluding tassels.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Dizlyks are traditional hand-woven textiles created by nomadic Turkmen tribes, specifically crafted as ornamental knee covers for camels during ceremonial processions and wedding caravans.

These textiles are typically hand-knotted using hand-spun sheep wool dyed with natural plant and mineral pigments, featuring supplementary fringe detailing and hand-wrapped wool tassels.

Authentic pieces exhibit hand-spun wool construction, asymmetric knotting techniques, traditional geometric motifs such as diamond serrations, and natural dye colour variations across the pile.

These small woven panels are frequently mounted inside custom acrylic box frames, displayed as a pair on narrow wall spaces, or integrated into gallery walls alongside contemporary art.

Keep textiles away from direct sunlight and high humidity, vacuum gently without a rotating brush, and consult a professional textile conservator for specialised cleaning or mounting.
