Hi, a rare style for a child, one of the earliest I have seen. I had two great experts of turkoman look at it and both say how rare and early the design is. My daughter wore this for years !

Lucky daughter - but you cannot stay the same size for ever, as a child. You have certainly brought her up to appreciate beauty, which will be a gift for her whole life.
