Antique Salt-bag, Bakhtiari Nomads, the Chahar Mahal, West Persia.

19th century
Description

This early salt-bag (namakdan in Persian), made circa 1870, was acquired in the 1950s in Iran. The natural colours are beautifully saturated and the design of four squares in the bag-face and the same four squares in the neck, contain crosses - a pre-Islamic symbol for breaking down the power of evil. The bag is complete with a plain-weave back in narrow horizontal bands of different colours. Sadly, only one complete braided neck cord has survived - the others worn away through constant use as a utilitarian container for salt and nuts.

Size: 62cm x 46cm (2' 0" x 1' 6").
