The author is an expert in Islamic art, but knows nothing of Turkoman art. She imposes an Islamic interpretation upon the Turkoman forms which originated prior to the Turkoman becoming Muslims. She totally denigrates the work of Dieter and Reinhold Schletzer, imposing her own interpretations for the objects shown. she states that the forms shown are Islamic, not uniquely Turkoman. Were this the case, one would expect to see these forms in many other Islamic countries. Such is not the case. The forms shown are found only among the Turkoman. She also sees Turkish influences in the art of the Turkoman. Obviously she is unaware that the Turks are descendents of the Turkomann. The result of two migrations into Anatolia from Central Asia. Rather than seeing Turkish influences in Turkoman art, one would expect to see Turkoman influences in modern Turkish art, After all, they were once the same people.

The Turkmen people of Central Asia and Iran are revered for their carpets and textiles. Less well known, but equally stunning, is the extraordinary silver jewelry created by Turkmen tribal craftsmen and urban silversmiths throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. This catalogue presents nearly two hundred pieces in glorious detail, ranging from crowns and headdresses to armbands and rings, and featuring accents of carnelian, turquoise, and other stones. Characterized by elegant form, geometric shapes, and delicate openwork, Turkmen jewelry has typically been viewed through an ethnographic rather than an aesthetic lens. By highlighting these objects--which come from one of the most significant private collections of Turkmen ornaments in the world--and placing them in the larger context of Islamic art, this groundbreaking publication elevates the vibrant, monumental pieces from folk art to fine art.
