Description

This Persian Bakhtiar saltbag is an antique tribal textile woven around 1975, preserving the complete structural and decorative features of a traditional Iranian nomadic salt container.
The textile retains its original hanging straps used for suspension, decorative tassels, and blue stone beads traditionally attached for protection against the evil eye.
The front surface is woven in soumak technique and features primitive geometric motifs arranged within a dense tribal composition.
The reverse side remains flatwoven, creating structural contrast and preserving the utilitarian handmade character of the object.
The field is woven primarily in navy tones, but visible red weft lines subtly emerge through the structure, causing the overall visual impression to shift toward deep aubergine coloration.
This layered chromatic effect gives the textile atmospheric depth and reinforces its tactile handmade quality.
The primitive geometric motifs remain highly abstract and symbolic, reflecting the direct visual language associated with many Bakhtiar nomadic weavings.
Originally woven for carrying and storing salt during nomadic movement, the object also functioned as a decorative tribal ornament through its tassels, beads, and carefully woven surface.
This piece stands out for its unusually complete structure, protective blue stone bead details, and richly layered tribal character.
