Antique Tacheh (Wheat-sack), Luri-bakhtiari Tribes, the Chahar Mahal, Western Persia.

1900 - 1920
Description

This charming 'tacheh' or wheat-sack has a knotted-pile checkerboard centre-piece which shows wonderful design movement, possibly due to the horizontal loom being moved on several occasions and thus the tension in the warp threads never being exactly the same. Note the detailed vertical stripes on the left and the fabulous movement of design on the right. I believe the symbolic meaning is that on the right, the wheat is growing out of the bare earth whereas on the left, it is fully grown. This then represents the bounty of God to these nomads and the wheat is an important part of their lives. Made by Luri-Bakhtiari tribes in the Chahar Mahal area of western Persia circa 1920.

Size: 1.14m x 1.07m (3' 9" x 3' 6").
