Wie die Affenfaust gehört auch der Türkische Bund oder kurz Türkenbund (engl. Turk's head) zu den Zierknoten. Die englische Wikipedia schreibt: "A Turk's head knot is a decorative knot with a variable number of interwoven strands, forming a closed loop. The name is used to describe the general family of all such knots rather than one individual knot. While generally seen made around a cylinder, the knot can also be deformed into a flat, mat-like shape. Some variants can be arranged into a roughly spherical shape, akin to a monkey's fist knot. The knot is used primarily for decoration and occasionally as anti-chafing protection. A notable practical use for the Turk's head is to mark the 'king spoke' of a ship's wheel; when this spoke is upright the rudder is in a central position. The knot takes its name from a notional resemblance to a turban (Tr: sarık), though a turban is wound rather than interwoven. The Turk's head knot is used as a woggle by Scout Leaders who completed their training course and were thus awarded with the Wood Badge insignia."
Aus Lederriemen oder bunten Bändern/Kordeln geflochten, wird der Türkenbund als Armreif getragen. Das haben wir aufgeriffen und diese nicht alltäglichen Armbänder in unser Angebot aufgenommen. Weitere Einzelheiten zu den J.C.-Armbändern "Türkischer Bund" gibt es hier.
