Size: 2ft 7in x 10in (78 x 26cm) face size excluding tassels. Antique Tekke Turkmen torba of fine weave and small size, with a scarce design to the central panel. Torba are shallow wall bags used mainly in tents or yurts for the storage of personal belongings, they were also used to decorate the sides of a camel in a wedding procession. Often only the piled face survives and the plain weave backs have been removed. Circa 1880 or earlier. The torba is in very good condition with even wear and medium pile, the original plain back has been removed at some point in the torba's history. Note the original long tassels in alternating colours. The torba still retains a 'smoked' feel, from the wood and peat fires that burnt within the Yurt. Stock Number: D-0063.
