This charming antique Kurdish saddlebag from West Iran is a captivating example of tribal craftsmanship and personal expression. Likely woven as part of a bride’s dowry, this piece exudes authenticity and heartfelt artistry.
The double lozenge medallions sit proudly on a deep blue background, framed by vibrant red borders adorned with repeating lozenge motifs—classic symbols in Kurdish weaving, often signifying protection and continuity.
Woven from lustrous, soft wool, the rich hues owe their depth and harmony to natural plant-based dyes, aged beautifully over time. What truly sets this saddlebag apart is its decorative finishing touches:
Turquoise buttons, a symbol of protection and fertility
Shell accents and intact woven locks
Handmade button loops, showcasing functional artistry
Originally made for practical use on horseback, today this piece is ideal as a collector’s textile, a wall hanging, or as an accent in a bohemian or rustic interior.
