Turquoise 'Bogota' Peshtemal

The flying figures of the 'Bogota' peshtemal are inspired by bat shaped artefacts displayed at the Museum of Gold in Bogota, Colombia. Found in the Tolima region, the earrings were used in rituals by the Shamans who would present them as offerings to encourage equilibrium in the world. The design also features the tulip, a flower synonymous with Istanbul and widely used in Turkish decorative arts. Our 100% cotton peshtemals are highly absorbent, light and dry very quickly. Traditionally used in Turkish baths, they are ideal for travelling, as well as use at home or by the pool.
