A NICE PC OF MID-20TH-CENTURY TURKMEN CUFFS, HANDCRAFTED IN THE TEKKE TRADITION. THE FIRE-GILDED SURFACES HIGHLIGHT INTRICATE GEOMETRIC DESIGNS, WHILE RED CABOCHONS OR GLASS BEADS ADD BOTH COLOR AND SYMBOLIC CHARM. WORN HISTORICALLY AS PROTECTIVE AMULETS AND MARKERS OF STATUS, THESE CUFFS REPRESENT THE RICH HERITAGE OF CENTRAL ASIAN SILVERSMITHING. A DISTINCTIVE AND COLLECTIBLE EXAMPLE OF ETHNIC JEWELRY.
