Antique Salt-bag, Baluch Tribes of Torbat-e-heydariyeh, Khorassan Province, North-east Persia.

1900 - 1920
Description

Acquired in Iran, this magnificent salt-bag - 'namakdan' in Persian, where 'namak' translates to 'salt', was woven by Baluch tribes in the environs of Torbat-e-Haydariyeh, Khorassan Province, north-western Persia during the early 20th century.

This is a large salt-bag having an ivory-wool background on both sides and what appears to be an all-over grid pattern containing small 'X' symbols. The border on each face shows a zig-zag pattern all the way round which I suspect symbolises the eternal cycle of life.

Particularly attractive is the brocaded patterning at the top of the neck, which the weaver has gone to great lengths to decorate. The sides are bound in original goat-hair and the bag is in excellent condition.

Size: 56cm x 50cm (1' 10" x 1' 8").
