Description: | Three-sided white felt amulet, tumar, in the form of a vertical, pointed oval shape, with a woollen tassel pendant below, and a blue and white woollen suspension cord above. The edges of the white felt amulet are sewn with red thread in zig-zags (perhaps a protective 'mountain' motif). Each of the three white panels is sewn with a star motif in blue thread. A Qu'ranic inscription may be enclosed by the three white felt panels. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Subjects: | Kirghiz felt wool amulets Health and Healing | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-4048 |
