Rare Pair of Wedding Camel / Horse Neck Dress Garments. Afghanistan Turkoman Trapping. Circa 1900.

Near matching pair (slightly different sizes and patterns). The fields with ivory colour serrated lattice enclosing shaded red / fox brown lozenge shaped panels, each with further internal lozenges, with repeating patterns between stripes. Vivid natural dye colours in ivory, red, blue (and yellow). Traditional red / fox brown and blue striped edging.

Condition: Full woolpile, most of the original tassels intact. Both dressage garments in excellent condition suggesting little use, and probably only used for ceremonies. Extremely rare and beautiful.

A. 110cm x 9cm
B. 112cm x 7cm
Both 8-10mm
