ANTIQUE #SA1226893

Antique Qashoqdan (spoon-bag), Lori-bakhtiari Tribes, The Chahar Mahal, Western Persia.

£850    $1,147    €992
The ''qashoqdan'' in Persian is ''spoon-bag'' and the purpose of this bag was to contain wooden spoons for everyday use in tribal life.
 
The bag was woven in fine soumak technique by Bakhtiari-Lors in the Chahar Mahal region of western Persia during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. It is interesting to note the depiction of opposing birds in the top and lower ivory cotton panels and also opposing birds-heads in the central panel, symbolising the guardians of the gates of Paradise.
 
Apart from a tiny repair as seen in the close-up image, the bag has been washed and is in excellent condition.
