Turcoman Chapan - Afghjanistan exclude-discount (Prayer Niche or Prayer Mat)Embroidered Turcoman chapan (traditional Turkic overcoat) with metal decorations.

Typical black, yellow and red main colours of Turcoman tribes, here shown in the embroidery of the front panels and trims. Note the impractically long decorative sleeves held together at the back, which might suggest it was worn by a man of high status. The Nomads Tent
