This antique Ersari Beshir Turkmen small storage bag, known as a kap, dates from circa 1920 and follows a classic tribal design with an original plain weave back. Hand-knotted from wool, the textile displays a deep red ground accented with navy blue, yellow, and cream tones, featuring a central geometric medallion and hooked latch-hook motifs framed by a tribal gul border. Visible signs of age and use include natural abrash dye variations and sides opened for display. Measuring 62 cm high, 50 cm wide, and 1 cm deep, this small bag functions well in a home today for display on a narrow wall space in a study or hallway as a decorative tribal textile.

FAQs

Ersari Turkmen storage bags, often known as torbas or chuvals, were hand-woven nomadic textiles used by Turkmen tribes in Central Asia to store and transport household goods.

These textiles are typically woven using hand-spun wool for both the pile and the warp or weft foundation, coloured with natural plant dyes such as madder root and indigo.

Authentic early twentieth-century Ersari pieces feature deep madder red grounds, geometric tribal guls, hand-knotted pile, and natural colour variations known as abrash.

Small tribal bag faces can be mounted and framed as wall art, fashioned into decorative accent cushions, or displayed on side tables to add texture and rich colour.

Vacuum gently without a rotating beater bar, protect from direct sunlight to prevent dye fading, and consult a specialist textile conservator for professional washing.
