Turkmen Four Leaf Ornament

A handcrafted Turkmen brass ornament preserving the raw character of traditional Central Asian metalwork. Its surface displays a naturally aged patina, worn areas and minor traces of use that give the piece an authentic antique appearance.

The central section consists of a hollow domed body ending in an elongated socket. Twisted wire decorates its edges, creating a distinctive detail associated with traditional Turkmen metal ornaments.

Small moving chains connect the body with four large leaf-shaped pendants. Their gently embossed surfaces reflect the light, while the loose construction allows the elements to move and produce a subtle sound.

The ornament can be used as a striking pendant, necklace component, garment decoration or focal element in an original ethnic jewellery design. Uneven patina, slight deformation and traces of handcrafting form a natural part of its history.
