Antique Azarbijan Khorjin Bag 128x49cm

This antique Azarbijan Khorjin bag originates from Northwest Iran, a region renowned for its intricate tribal weaving traditions. A Khorjin (saddlebag) was traditionally crafted for nomadic use, combining both functionality and artistry, and this particular piece is an excellent example.

The bag is finely woven, which speaks to both the quality of the materials and the skill of its maker. Its enduring condition after so many years of use is a testament to the durability of handspun wool and the meticulous techniques used by the weaver.

The design features multicoloured lozenges, each containing the symbolic ram’s horn motif, a sign of strength and protection in tribal culture. These motifs are elegantly framed by a double zig-zag border, adding rhythm and visual depth to the piece.

With its rich symbolism, vibrant colours, and strong structure, this Khorjin bag is not only a decorative textile but also a collectible work of Persian tribal art. It would make an excellent addition to any serious collection of antique bags, kilims, or nomadic weavings.
