Antique Kurdish Saltbag 50x30cm

This piece showcases the charm of authentic tribal weaving, featuring a wonderful colour palette achieved with natural dyes that have matured beautifully over time. At the heart of the bag is a delightful scene with three stylised dogs, surrounded by a field of paisley (boteh) designs, a symbol of fertility and eternity in Persian art.

The structure is solid, and while the binding has been redone, the bag maintains its original character and integrity. The handle and body are intact, and the wool has developed a soft sheen, a testament to both the quality of the materials and the passage of time.

This bag is ideal for collectors, tribal textile enthusiasts, or anyone looking to add a decorative accent with cultural depth to their interior.
