The Daalder Collection of Ethnic Jewellery and Adornment, after 2007
Turkoman Disk

Turkoman Disk

This Turkoman disk was collected in Persia, namely in Gonbad-e-Kabus, which is situated in Golestan near the southeast corner of the Caspian Sea and in the heart of Yomud territory. If you look at the back, the piece has four places for attachment, so the ornament could have been made for the bridle of a horse, or for someone’s belt, or to serve as decoration sewn onto clothing.
