Antique Salt-bag, Khalaj Tribes, North-central Persia.

19th century
Description

This magnificent 'namakdan' (salt-bag) is attributed to the Turkic nomads of Khalaj in north-central Persia.

In fact, these tribes are linked to the Qashqa'i, having fled Turkmenistan in the 11th century with a group of nomads settling in Khalajistan and the rest of the tribe, moving further south-west into Fars Province where we know them today as the Qashqa'i.

This rare and stunning salt-bag, made during the last quarter of the nineteenth century, is woven in weft-float brocade with knotted tufts of wool decorating the front face. Long warp threads emanate from the neck, braided together to form a decorative finish.

Size: 48cm x 46cm (1' 7" x 1' 6").
