The neck section on the back of the bag had worn away and I sent the bag back to Iran to have the neck part re-woven, bringing the bag back to its original condition which I see as important on such a rare and stunning bag. This salt-bag was woven by Afshar nomads in the Bardsir region of Kerman Province around 1880.
