Antique Turkmen Asmalyk, Ersary Nomads of the Middle Amu Darya Region, Turkmenistan.

19th century
Description

This magnificent Ersary Turkmen Asmalyk (wedding camel decoration) was recently discovered in an old English country house - I imagine it had never been washed as the smell of the yurt was still oozing from it! But how wonderful it has cleaned up. This rare trapping was made specifically for decorating the wedding camel and symbolised power and fertility to the owner. Presented to the bridegroom at the marriage ceremony with the rest of the wedding dowry, it would have been hung up in the wedding yurt for the rest of their married lives. Particularly powerful is the central heraldic crest and the two end panels depicting beautifully drawn trees.

Size: 1.68m x 0.54m (5' 6" x 1' 9").
