Vintage Persian Khorjin 55x55cm

This sweet vintage Kurdish bag face from Northeast Iran is a delightful example of traditional nomadic weaving. Woven by the Kurdish tribes of Ghoochan, it showcases a blend of two flatweaving techniques, including the Somak weave—a method widely used among Kurdish weavers to create texture and strength in their textiles.

The design is both simple and symbolic, featuring horizontal bands of colour interspersed with raindrop and flower head motifs, which are often used to represent fertility, renewal, and protection in tribal iconography.

Originally part of a functional storage or travel bag, this bag face now serves as a standalone decorative textile, perfect for use as wall art, a table accent, or a collectible textile for connoisseurs of tribal art. The natural dyes and handspun wool give this piece a soft yet durable character, enhanced by a pleasing colour palette that blends tradition with rustic charm.
