Thanks, I only ask as I've seen very worn amber used and these seem a strange colour for glass.
But what interests me most is,
who actually wears the combination of "fire gilt" and coloured glass
as opposed to the "fire gilt" and carnelian, which I call Tekkke.
There are so many sub-tribes I can't seperate.
Can anyone tell me, "what does Chodor look like?"
Thanks awfully Johanne. It was so-o much easier when things were just Turkoman.
Then they were Tekke, Yomut, Ersari and sometimes Saryk or Salor...
but there are so many I've handled that aren't
(or I assume they aren't, as there are so many subtribes that they could be, and I'm pretty convinced they're not the main three or four.)
I'm either obsessed or very frustrated with not knowing.
I'll post pics of some pieces that are obviously different and see if anyone can help me.
No I know of the book but can't afford it, have seen the cover on the net but once again am frustrated at not curling up with it to decode my obsession.
Now though, I realise I could spend all those dollars and still not find out, ouch.
Thanks again.
And as I've said "the more I know the less I seem to know!"
And sorry to have kidnapped this thread.
