Turkish Peskir (small peshtemal ) hand towel. What is Peshtemal ? A peshtemal (also spelled peshtamal, pestamal or pestemal; from Turkish: pestamal) is a Turkish towel traditionally used in the Turkish baths for centuries. It is also used to specify which region people are from and is a part of a deep cultural tradition. There are many kinds of peshtemal, with different styles and colors for different local areas in Turkey. It absorbs water as fast as a traditional towel, dries very quickly, takes up less space, is easy to carry. Its fabric (for most peshtemals) is made of 100% cotton produced in manually operated looms in Turkey.
