FAQs

A Tekke Turkmen torba or mafrash face is a woven wool bag panel produced by nomadic Turkmen tribes of Central Asia, historically used for storage and transport inside a yurt.

These textiles were hand-knotted using wool pile on a wool warp and weft, utilising natural dyes such as madder root to achieve deep crimson shades.

Authentic pieces display fine asymmetrical knotting, high knot density, subtle natural dye variations, and traditional geometric tribal motifs such as the Aina Gul.

These woven panels are frequently mounted as framed wall art, placed along console tables, or repurposed as decorative cushion covers.

Keep the wool away from direct sunlight, vacuum gently without a rotating brush, and consult a professional textile conservator for specialist cleaning.
