Tekke Torba

Description

first half 19th century, 46 x 120 cm, Central Asia, West Turkestan

Six unusually large primary guls and, likewise very large, chemche cruciform motifs fill most of the field of this early torba. The main border design of elongated S-forms, some of them with stepped outlines, is rarely encountered. Loges published another Tekke torba with this border in 1978. A further example used to be in the American Marsh Collection.
