Tekke chanteh, second half 19th century

Measurements: 17cm x 29cm

180 Knots per inch

Price: £90

One of the smallest bags I have ever seen. The size doesn’t allow for much ornamentation and the design although finely woven is quite simple. I love Turkoman weaving, the older pieces are always fine and one can’t help being impressed with the quality of their weaving. This piece has its original back and is an authentic tribal chanteh with considerable age.

Condition:

Fair condition with some wear to one corner.
