Five large loose Turkoman bells for dance DIY. These bells are detailed with wirework and are extra loud! Most often seen on Central Asian jewelry, they are perfect for costuming at ren faires and belly dance events. The Turkoman are an ethnic group native to Central Asia, primarily the Turkmen nation state of Turkmenistan. Smaller communities are also found in Afghanistan, North Caucasus, and northern Pakistan. The Turkmen lifestyle was heavily invested in horsemanship and horse-breeding. In spite of changes prompted by the Soviet period, the Turkmen have remained very well known for their horses, the Akhal-Teke desert horse and, of course, for their unique and beautiful jewelry traditions.
