Turkmen Balls Set 3 pcs

The set includes three antique Turkmen balls, handmade from thin brass sheet. Each piece has a different shape, size, and unique surface covered with a natural patina.

The hollow bodies are made of joined hemispheres. The joints are decorated with strips of twisted wire, braid, and decorative wavy ornamentation characteristic of traditional Central Asian crafts.

Holes at both ends allow the beads to be strung onto a cord, strap, or thicker chain. The set can be used to create a striking necklace, a large pendant, or a unique ethnic and tribal-style piece.

The spheres retain signs of age and use, including abrasions, dents, unevenness, and localized discoloration. All of these features are a natural part of a vintage item. The product is sold only as a complete set, as shown in the photo.
