Description

The Turkmen Engsi was made to hang at the entrance of the Turkmen yurt as a door and symbolised the gateway to Paradise. The pre-Islamic cross in the centre created the symbolic 4-gardens of Paradise and the panel at the base, the gateway to Paradise. The pentagonal shape at the top of the cross is referred to as the 'kejebe' and symbolised power and fertility.

This engsi, which is in very good overall condition, was made by Teke tribes around 1870-1880 and incorporates a beautiful, glowing natural madder-red.

Size: 1.40m x 1.30m (4' 7" x 4' 3").

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
