 | 2 Finger Tukroman Ring with Turquoise
$175.00 Huge two finger silver ring with Turquoise and red agate. These were from a batch that we had custom made by a Turkoman silversmith in Peshawar. The quality and workmanship of these is fantastic. This is the second to last one we have, and doubt that we'll get these made again due to the cost of silver.
The finger openings are appx. size 7 and 7.5 - the width of the band usually means that slightly larger fingers will fit. The ring is 2" diameter and 3/4" tall. |

 | Amber and Silver Tuareg Ring
$130.00 Amber and Silver Tuareg ring, probably 20-30 years old. More than likely the amber (and bezel) had originally been 90 degrees different, many of these get reset as it fits most peoples preference to have the stone in line with the finger rather than perpendicular. The amber is a pleasant yellowy orange color, and the engraving on the silver work is quite nice.
Size: 9.5, setting is 7/8" x 1/2" x 3/4" tall and the band is about 3/8" wide |
 | Ancient Glass Bead Tadjik Silver Ring
$65.00 This is a recent Tadjik silver ring, probably made by a refugee craftsman in Peshawar, Pakistan. The silver design is fairly traditional and well worked, it has been set with an ancient glass bead. The oldest beads used date to Greek times (Alexander) the newer ones tend to date to the early Islamic period in Central Asia (over 1000 years old.) Interesting piece, would have been made as a man's ring. - Very cool design on the sides of the band
Size 8.5, 3/8" tall |
 | Ancient Looking Kuchi Short Cuff

$45.00 Pair of vintage tribal anklets from the northern part of Pakistan or southern band of Afghanistan. These are made from mixed metal, locally called gillet; typically a mixture of brass, copper, nickel, tin, and sometimes a small amount of silver. These are made by the village crafts people of the region and are worn through out the area. The design is very similar to anklets found through out Pakistan and northwest India (especially the silver work of Rajasthan.) They are old and show some signs of wear / use, they have been newly backed with cotton for more comfortable wearing.
2-1/2" tall, 9" total length at top, they flair slightly. No clasp, so they slip over the ankle |
 | Antique Art Nouveau Design Print Block
$17.00 This style of wooden print block is hand carved from a piece of dense wood such as Acacia or Rosewood. The vast majority of this type of block printing is now being done with metal blocks and the old wooden ones are rapidly being destroyed or sold. This type of block is found throughout south and central Asia, this style is is more typical of the northern parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Though they could as easily come from Sindh where there is a large industry making cotton Ajraks. These were either used with Ink for direct printing or wax for batik. They have been coated to make them water resistant, we have found that brushing them with mineral spirits will remove some of the darkness.
They make great display pieces, and can be creatively used for a variety of crafts, printing of course but we have seen them used wonderfully in ceramics applications as well.
Size:4.5" x 3.5" |
 | Antique Baluch Embroidered Belt - Stunning!
$220.00 Fantastic antique Baluch belt from the early 20th century. Its long so it was either a very large man who wore it (possible) or was worn more like a sash. The quality of work and the silver and turquoise end pieces would suggest that it was worn by someone of importance and status, this would have predominantly figured into their wardrobe. The turquoise appears to be from the mines around Meshed, Iran, the embroidery looks like the work from the Baluchistan region of Pakistan (at that time India.)
Very good condition for the age, a few of the mirrors are cracked, the sequins tarnished, some wear to the embroidery and backing cloth, all things to be expected for a piece that was worn and made 80-100 years ago. |
 | Antique Central Asian Patchwork Textile
$45.00 This is a well constructed and designed patch work textile from the mid to early 20th century, comprised of old (19th century) textile fragments.

Obvious condition issues that are quite clear in the photos (fading, holes, tares, and stains.)

Exceptionally fine work for tribal silver, probably made for a special occasion by a highly skilled silversmith.

 | Antique Triangle Shaped Print Block
$17.00 This style of wooden print block is hand carved from a piece of dense wood such as Acacia or Rosewood. The vast majority of this type of block printing is now being done with metal blocks and the old wooden ones are rapidly being destroyed or sold. This type of block is found throughout south and central Asia, this style is is more typical of the northern parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Though they could as easily come from Sindh where there is a large industry making cotton Ajraks. These were either used with Ink for direct printing or wax for batik.

$165.00 Stunning early 20th century Turkoman embroidered headband. The embroidery itself is in excellent condition rendered in what appears to be all naturally dyed yarn. The backing cloth that can be seen is a later replacement / addition, the original Russian trade cloth backing appears to still be present under the 1960s era cloth. The tassels also seem to be a latter embellishment which suggests that this piece was handed down and worn by a couple of generations, if not more.
19" x 5" |

 | Antique Turkoman Pendants
$110.00 Usual pair of Yomut or Ersari Turkoman silver pendants / beads. Odd shape and relatively rough construction, but interesting. The back has a tube rather than loops, so it was probably worn attached to a head piece or temple adornments.

$1,150.00 Stunning silver Turkoman Asyk pendant. Asyks were worn by married women and were a gift from the grooms parents to the bride.

The workman ship of this piece is very good, with large and small carnelians being used and an intricate firegilded patern, an ancient method of platting gold to silver.
5-1/4"x 5-3/4" |
 | Awesome Embroidered Rainbow Heart Dress Front
$65.00 Exceptionally cheerful and bright embroidered collar / dress front from Sindh, Pakistan. The embroidery around the actual collar is quite typical, but the sequentially smaller rainbow hearts are highly unusual and show a degree of "embroiderer's whimsy" that you rarely see so pronounced. It would be a great piece to display, but could easily be reused on a variety of other textiles, garments, or costume pieces.
13" x 36" |

$17.00 This style of wooden print block is hand carved from a piece of dense wood such as Acacia or Rosewood.

This type of block is found throughout south and central Asia, this style is is more typical of the northern parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Though they could as easily come from Sindh where there is a large industry making cotton Ajraks. These were either used with Ink for direct printing or wax for batik. They have been coated to make them water resistant, we have found that brushing them with mineral spirits will remove some of the darkness.
They make great display pieces, and can be creatively used for a variety of crafts, printing of course but we have seen them used wonderfully in ceramics applications as well.

 | Floral Wooden Print Block
$22.00 This style of wooden print block is hand carved from a piece of dense wood such as Acacia or Rosewood. The vast majority of this type of block printing is now being done with metal blocks and the old wooden ones are rapidly being destroyed or sold. This type of block is found throughout south and central Asia, this style is is more typical of the northern parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Though they could as easily come from Sindh where there is a large industry making cotton Ajraks. These were either used with Ink for direct printing or wax for batik. They have been coated to make them water resistant, we have found that brushing them with mineral spirits will remove some of the darkness.
They make great display pieces, and can be creatively used for a variety of crafts, printing of course but we have seen them used wonderfully in ceramics applications as well.

 | Inticate Old Wooden Printblock
$16.00 This style of wooden print block is hand carved from a piece of dense wood such as Acacia or Rosewood.

This type of block is found throughout south and central Asia, this style is is more typical of the northern parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Though they could as easily come from Sindh where there is a large industry making cotton Ajraks. These were either used with Ink for direct printing or wax for batik. They have been coated to make them water resistant, we have found that brushing them with mineral spirits will remove some of the darkness.
They make great display pieces, and can be creatively used for a variety of crafts, printing of course but we have seen them used wonderfully in ceramics applications as well.
