About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This antique hand-knotted bag face is an authentic example of the Baluch tribal weaving traditions from the border regions of Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Originally designed as part of a nomadic tribe's storage system, the piece displays an intriguing geometric pattern with a central diamond motif that reflects the weaver's cultural identity. Crafted with hand-spun wool and natural vegetable dyes, this textile displays a rich, saturated color palette of deep brown, red, and subtle blue accents. The traditional knotting technique and the use of robust materials attest to the object's utilitarian origins. Its compact, portable size makes it a versatile piece for contemporary applications. The bag face is in a condition consistent with its age and original use. Over the years, the colors have developed a deep, natural patina, contributing to the authentic character of the fabric. This textile piece is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of ethnographic art. It lends itself perfectly as unique wall decoration or as a striking accent piece in an eclectic or bohemian interior, where it offers a tangible connection to nomadic traditions.
