Antique Salt-bag, Bakhtiari Tribes, the Chahar Mahal, Western Persia.

1900 - 1920
Description

The first thing to notice when handling this fabulous 'namakdan' (salt-bag) is the high glossy quality of the wool on the face. Lustrous and velvety, it is incredibly tactile. I like the powerful 'double birds-heads' lozenge depicted on a beautifully-dark, deep indigo-blue ground, The birds-heads are in golden-yellow with the central symbolic lozenge in two natural colours - red and teal. The ivory border shows a continuous vine, symbolising the eternal cycle of life. The back of the bag is in typical Bakhtiari-style narrow bands of different colours. This namakdan, made by Bakhtiari tribes in the Chahar Mahal region of western Persia circa 1900, is in excellent original condition and retains its braided hanging cords.

Size: 54cm x 44cm (1' 9" x 1' 5").
