"sehr alte Kameltasche Torba turkmenische ? Teppichtasche handgeknüpft ANTIK"
Afshar does come from the Turkic, Turkoman Oğuz ancestral origins. They stemmed from the Bozoklars, then from the sub tribe Yildizhan.
I don’t want to sound like a know it all because I am not. My wife’s nephew just wrote a book that took many years of a high level of research including historical Turkmen archives. We have a copy of his book.
I think it may be from northwest or west Afghanistan - Baluch, maybe Hazara or Aimaq. The motifs and palette work well with mid 20th century products from the region. I'm not inclined to consider it as Afshar work; it's a bit distant from Afshar flatweaves I'm familiar with.
