Antique Hand Woven Yomud Turkoman, (Turkmen) Woman’s Belt + Buckle

Circa; Late 19^th Century

38 1/2 inches (97.8 cm) wide x 2 1/4 inches (5.8 cm) high

(size does not include the small buckle)

Condition; Good: The item is flexible but shows use and patination. The belt is backed by black cotton cloth. The buckle is not attached, and is corroded and probably doesn’t work. The item as seen is missing ties or a way to fasten it for wearing. It is excellent as an antique example of Turkoman craftsmanship.

Description: This rare and attractive tribal weaving has beautiful subtle colors. They are black, white, red, and pink. All the colors appear to be natural dyes.

I found it hidden in my inventory in a closed plastic crate. It was probably purchased by me at auction in the late 1980s, over 35 years ago.
