This unique Turkmen headpiece, known as Alpaga, is a stunning example of traditional tribal jewelry that combines rich symbolism with exquisite craftsmanship.
Crafted from gold-plated silver, it features characteristic geometric patterns and delicate, dangling tassels that move gracefully with every motion. The red inlays, resembling gemstones or glass, add contrast and are believed to provide protection against evil spirits and the "evil eye." Traditionally worn during ceremonies such as weddings and other significant events, the Alpaga symbolized the social status and wealth of the wearer.
The hanging elements not only served as decoration but also, according to tradition, warded off negative energies, while their sound was thought to bring good fortune. This headpiece is perfect for collectors of antique jewelry or as a unique accessory to complement modern outfits.
