Makeup Culture Gallery "Turkmen Jewelry - Prayer Modeling"

Turkmen (now Turkmenistan) is a country located in the southwestern part of Central Asia, bordering the Caspian Sea at its western end, and has a history of prospering as a key point for trade on the Silk Road. The Turkmen people, who were nomadic people living in the desert, have developed their own clothing culture rooted in their climate and way of life.
Turkmen jewelry is characterized by a gorgeous combination of carnelian (carnelian) and silver, as well as a heavy taste. These are not only for the purpose of decorating the body, but also serve as a symbol to indicate the property worn, the tribe and position, and the amulet to ward off disasters, and the shapes and patterns contain various meanings. In Art, you can see multifaceted Turkmen jewelry that reflects the aesthetics and prayers of the Turkmen people.
In "Books", we expand our association with the keyword "perspective". It is not easy to have an unshakable "perspective". Still, when we are at a crossroads in life, we have no choice but to use our beliefs and wishes as guides to choose the path we should take. In this season's Books, you can come into contact with the possibilities of new options that can be seen by changing your perspective.
