Antique Turkmen Gurbaka-Dagdan pendant in gilded silver, decorated on the front with set carnelians and glass paste beads.
The Gurbaka-Dagdan belongs to the tradition of Turkmen ornamental amulets. The term Dagdan refers to the sacred tree of the same name, the Caucasian hackberry, whose wood was traditionally used to make protective talismans.
The term Gurbaka is associated with the figure of the frog, symbolically connected with water, rain and fertility.
These amulets were worn mainly by women and children, with the purpose of warding off the evil eye, illness and negative influences, as well as promoting fertility and protecting life.
