Description
This Qashqai Tribal Salt Bag is a remarkable example of functional folk art, blending nomadic utility with exceptional aesthetic craftsmanship. Woven by the Qashqai tribe of southern Iran, this bag was traditionally used for carrying salt—an essential commodity during migration—yet its decorative beauty clearly marks it as more than just utilitarian.
The front panel features a richly detailed Suzani-style weave, bursting with vibrant color and ornate patterning. Shades of light blue, warm orange, rich brown, and deep red intertwine in intricate designs that reflect tribal symbolism, personal expression, and generational weaving knowledge.
Unusually, the reverse side of the bag is just as beautifully woven, mirroring the artistry of the front and providing a fully cohesive design. This level of attention to detail indicates that this piece may have held ceremonial or special significance within the nomadic household.
The textured weave, bold palette, and symbolic motifs make this bag a striking decorative accent, whether displayed on a wall, styled atop furniture, or kept as part of a curated tribal textile collection. It’s a rare opportunity to own a handmade piece of cultural heritage—one that combines storytelling, identity, and traditional function.
