Attractive Vintage Turkman Tobreh Bag From Northeast of Iran
£290.00
This attractive vintage Turkman Tobreh bag from Northeast Iran perfectly captures the simple charm and symbolism of traditional tribal weaving. Woven in rich, natural tones, the bag showcases a row of snowflake motifs across the top—often representing protection or purity—followed by a central lozenge pattern, framed delicately by butterfly-like motifs that lend movement and elegance to the composition.
Traditionally used by Turkman nomads for storing and transporting essentials, Tobreh bags like this one combine functionality with artistic expression. The motifs are not just decorative; they reflect the cultural identity and storytelling heritage of the weaver.
This handwoven piece is crafted from high-quality wool and dyed using natural plant-based dyes, giving it a rich texture and authentic tone. It is in excellent condition, making it a desirable piece for collectors and decorators alike.
Whether displayed as tribal wall art, placed on furniture, or appreciated as part of a curated textile collection, this Tobreh brings beauty, authenticity, and cultural depth to any setting.
