Description

This fabulous and unique salt-bag - 'namakdan' in Persian - was made by Zaggar Mangal nomads in the environs of south-eastern Persia bordering Baluchistan. Tightly woven on the front in weft-float brocade, the back is in simple plainweave. The sides are over-bound in goat-hair with a long goat-hair handle at the top for transportation. I love the intricate detail on the sides and base of the bag, particularly the brocade, coloured beads and white buttons - all symbolising good luck and protection. This bag must have been highly-prized bearing in mind the superb weaving - a woman who has skilfully put all her love and attention to detail into a bag for containing rock-salt and probably made for her husband or future husband - part of her dowry!

Size: 71cm x 41cm (2' 4" x 1' 4").
