Cotswold Oriental Rugs has dated this piece to the 1890s.
Antique Ersari Turkmen torba with a scarce 'yurt' design.
Circa 1890.
The colour is superb with a clear red, the design in ivory stands out well against the red. The torba was probably a decoration for the camel used during a Turkmen wedding, a dowry item then displayed inside the family yurt.
The torba is in excellent condition with very slight wear and good pile.
Hand washed and ready for display.
