FAQs

Afshar tobacco bags, frequently crafted as small chanteh pouches, were woven by semi-nomadic Afshar tribes in Southern Persia to carry tobacco, pipes, or personal belongings.

These items were woven by hand using hand-spun wool yarns dyed with natural vegetable and mineral dyes, often combining flatweave and pile techniques with decorative tassels.

Authentic examples display saturated natural dyes, slight asymmetrical variations in the hand-spun yarn, traditional geometric tribal iconography, and hand-braided wool cords or fringe edge finishings.

Small tribal textiles can be custom-framed as tactile wall art, mounted on a display easel within a bookshelf, or styled on a tray atop a console table.

Display the piece away from direct sunlight and high humidity, and clean gently with a soft brush rather than using water or chemical cleaners.
