Our historical silverware and goldware have
come to be the favourites of women as beautiful as fairies. The Türkmen
horse should be on view at every event. Our historical silver- and
goldware that somehow appear in the world market are priceless. Famous
movie artists, theatre stars, famous women of arts and letters would
deem it a privilege to own Türkmen-made silver- and goldware.
Pay
attention to the jewellery worn by Türkmen girls; the gupba-tuvulga, çekelik-bukav
protects the neck from attacks with swords, the gülıaka protects the
chest. The bracelet covers the wrist, and various pieces attached on the
front and back of dresses prevent injuries from arrows and spears. If
the Türkmen girl wears all her jewellery, she becomes like a warrior
shielded by her jewellery. Calculations tell us that a woman should be
carrying a total of 36 kilograms of silver and gold if she wears all her
jewellery. The Türkmen praises the woman highly.
