This rare vintage Qashqai Rakhtekhab bag, also known as a Mafrash, is a stunning example of Persian tribal craftsmanship and functional design. Traditionally used by nomadic families to store and transport bedding, Rakhtekhab bags combine durability and rich symbolism with artistic finesse.
Sumak woven for added texture and structural strength, this piece features striking animal motifs, including partridges and a row of goats—symbols of abundance, family, and protection in tribal culture. The color palette is vibrant yet harmonious, with turquoise, red, blue, and orange wool creating a lively, decorative surface.
All leather-trimmed edges, handles, and locking straps remain intact, which is uncommon given the utilitarian nature of these pieces. The bag can be beautifully repurposed as a vintage kilim ottoman, stylish table base, or decorative tribal trunk, making it a functional gem for collectors and interior stylists alike.
