The Yomut Asmalyk

An Asmalyk is a trapping used in a Turkmen wedding procession. Asmalyks may be pile or embroidered and are usually 5 sided. While 5 sided are most common there is a smaller group of 7 Sided White asmalyks. We can not rule out the possibility that some of the trappings that are rectangular are in fact asmalyks as well.

Yomut asmalyks are most common and then those of the Tekke.
