Antique 19th Century Silver Tekke Turkmen Carnelian Cuff Bracelet
About the Item
Beautiful Tekke/Turkmen cuff/armlet armlet, known as bilezik, is decorated with four rows of table-cut semi-precious Carnelians. The cuff is for a small boned person (internal diameter at smallest point is 2" x 1.75") Size: 4.25"H x 2.5"W. Weight is 338 grams (0.745162 lbs).
While commonly worn on special occasions, wealthy women often wear them every day. The silver is decorated with an embossed and applied design and then a thin layer of gold (gilding) is applied to bracelet by heating a mixture of gold and quicksilver which evaporates fast. In addition to the shape and theme of the silver metal itself, the semi-precious stones that embellish the jewelry are also imbued with protective powers. Pieces of carnelian, a bright red colored stone, are popular because they are believed to protect the wearers from illness and death.
The Turkmen, as more than two dozen tribal groups of Turkic ethnic and linguistic heritage are collectively known, were pastoral nomads who lived in encampments, raised livestock, bred horses, and occasionally plundered settled areas for booty and slaves. In order to ensure year-round green pastures for their animals, the tribes moved two or three times a year. The Tekke are a tribe of southern Turkmenistan and Northern Afghanistan.
