Description

This Shahsavan Persian Saddle Bag is an antique example, approximately 80 years old, woven by Iranian nomads. The main color is red with visible abrash variation, and the condition is excellent.
The front side is woven in Sumak (verni), where motifs appear slightly raised, while the back is flatweave (takht-baf), creating a smooth surface.
The structure combines wool and cotton materials.
A notable feature is the locking system, known as ghofl o kelid. In this piece, it is executed with a more complex and less common weaving technique, making it different from standard Saddle Bag construction.
This textile reflects both functional design and technical variation within Shahsavan weaving traditions.
