Product description
This antique Turkmen wedding chest (also known as a dowry chest or yurt chest) originates from the 19th-century nomadic traditions of Central Asia (the border region of Afghanistan and Turkmenistan). These chests were used to safely store textile dowries, valuable jewelry, clothing, and family treasures. Crafted from robust solid wood, the front displays the region's characteristic, highly detailed carving. The round, disc-like central elements frequently serve as protective symbols in folk art (acting as an eye to ward off evil). The geometric diamond patterns are deeply rooted in traditional Turkmen ornamental art.
