This exceptional tobreh (tribal storage bag) originates from Kalat, a town in northern Khorassan province, near Iran’s northeastern border. Known for its finely woven textiles, Kalat produces pieces that are true works of art, and this large tobreh is no exception.
Crafted with high-quality wool and natural dyes, the weaving is impressively tight and detailed, showcasing both technical mastery and artistic flair. The design is sharply executed, with beautifully balanced geometry and rich colour contrast, making it an ideal display piece.
Both ends of the bag feature intricate finishing work, indicative of the care and pride woven into each detail. While there is a minor old repair, it blends harmoniously with the piece and adds a sense of history and authenticity—rather than detracting, it enhances the narrative character of the textile.
All locks and closures are intact, which is rare for a tribal bag of this age and type, and makes this example particularly desirable for collectors. With its fine condition and elevated craftsmanship, this tobreh is more than a functional object—it’s a textile treasure from one of Iran’s most respected weaving regions.
