Dizlyks were made in pairs and tied around the knees of the bridal camel during the wedding procession. This dizlyk was made by the Yomut Turkmen in the trans-Caspian Steppes and has survived the ravages of time. To find a pair these days is not easy as many were split up when they were acquired during the late nineteenth/early twentieth century.
