Tekke Turret Gul Juval

The Tekke were a tribe which sided with the Salor and broke with the Ersari to form the Salor confederation. The Tekke later split with the salor and the Saryk in the 19th century and subdued them both. The Turret Gul was a Salor Gul which the Tekke made later than the Salor. Compare to the Salor Turret Gul in Salor Juval Fragment.
