Full Description: An almost identical torba was published in ATLANTIC
COLLECTIONS, p. 196, fig. 235. Pinner refers to this rare design based
upon a Yomut asmalyk. A stylized erre-gul is centered within each
diamond reserve. The torba shown here benefits from crested birdheads
found in the border elements -- an unusual and attractive feature not
seen in the piece from the Marsh Collection (ex-Maqam).
