Turkoman tent band 464 x 8 cms L 450 - 800 Reed screens rarely last moreAn exceptional tent band showing the weavers great skill and patience. For a mere functional item, we can barely imagine any equivalence in western culture. The band itself shows a remarkably intricate weaving technique known as warp faced inlay brocade.
