Chepken

One of the most widely spread clothing in the Turkish-ethnic cultural environment. It was a part of both male and female clothing sets. Atmagols (a type of chocka) were usually added to chepkens. The presented chepken was made of black velvet. It was used as male clothing. Its surface was decorated with “ketebe” (colophon) and “afshar flower” patterns embroidered with silver wires and silk threads. The stitches were covered with welt made of galloon and silk fabric. The fact that the chepken belonging to the Afshar people was made with great taste shows that it was a part of the clothing set of the people from upper class.
