Antique Turkmen Tribal Spheres

Antique Turkmen spheres handcrafted from brass and covered with a naturally aged, uneven patina. Their raw surfaces, small dents and visible signs of wear emphasise the age and authentic tribal character of every piece.

The large hollow body consists of two joined hemispheres. A decorative band of twisted wire surrounds the central seam, creating a simple yet distinctive detail associated with traditional Central Asian metalwork.

A long metal stem ending in a loop allows the sphere to be used as a pendant, necklace component, garment ornament or decorative element in a larger composition. Small openings in the body suggest that these objects may once have had a sound-producing function or formed part of a more elaborate ornament.

Each sphere differs slightly in shape, brass colour, patina and handmade details. The product is sold individually, and the selected piece may vary slightly from those shown in the photographs.
