Collectible Turkmen Vintage Wall Hanging Tribal Amulet
This unusual one-of-a-kind Wall Hanging was handcrafted by a Turkmen during the mid-1900's. It serves as an amulet to attract a bountiful home, as well as a display of the artwork.
Cowrie shells and shell buttons surround the outer border to bring good fortune and a bountiful home.
A fringe of collectible old thimbles, more cowrie shells, and various charms hang from long beaded dangles. When caught in the breeze, they clatter together to make a delightful sound. The sturdy old thimbles alone, with their rich age patina are worth more than the price of the wall-hanging.
