Antique Cargo-bag, Qashqa'i Nomads, Fars Province, South-west Persia.

1920 - 1940
Description

This amazing cargo-bag (rakhtekhab-pich in Persian) was made by Qashqa'i nomads during the first half 20th century in Fars Province, south-west Iran. These large storage bags were usually made in pairs and this is one of a pair of these incredibly tough utilitarian bags. During migrations, the bags would have been filled with bedding, clothes, pots and pans etc. and each tied to the flanks of the camel.

This bag is unusual for its depiction of stylised birds around the central red horizontal border. In excellent condition, the bag retains its leather tie-straps and leather binding on the edges.

Size: 76cm x 38cm x 30cm (2' 6" x 1' 3" x 1' 0").
