Antique Turkmen Torba, Kizyl Ayak Tribe, Turkmenistan, Central Asia.

19th century
Description

The sumptuous woollen pile in this complete Turkmen 'torba' (small storage bag), is like silk-velvet - soft and glossy! Made by the Kizyl Ayak tribe during the second half of the nineteenth century, the design of two large squares containing what appear to be 'trees', quite similar to the pattern used in the ikats from Samarkand and Bokhara. There is something strongly symbolic going on here - note the tiny botehs within the larger botehs - possibly a fertility symbol.

The natural colours are superb and the bag is complete with its undyed plain-weave back.

Size: 1.04m x 0.51m (3' 5" x 1' 8").
