Size: 5ft 5in x 1ft 11in (164 x 58cm) Antique Ersari Turkmen torba with star in octagon design of large size. Circa 1870. A very good torba with a well drawn example of this classic Ersari design. The colour is superb with a clear red. The central star in octagon is surrounded by six further stars on a dark indigo blue ground. The most unusual feature is the main border being in very soft undyed brown wool, this could be camel wool. This is without doubt an unusual and scarce torba possibly of an earlier date than stated. The torba is in excellent condition with even wear and medium pile, it has a smoked feel from tribal use; the reds are showing signs of corrosion through out. There is slight damage and some old repairs to the sides as can be seen in the images. Hand washed and ready for display. A superb collectible display item. Stock Number: MS15-01.
