FAQs

A salt bag, or namakdan, is a utilitarian woven pouch traditionally produced by nomadic and village tribes in Persia for storing and transporting rock salt.

These pieces are typically constructed using hand-spun wool for both the warp and weft, often featuring intricate warp-faced or sumak weaving techniques alongside natural dyes.

Authentic pieces exhibit irregularities in hand-spun yarn, traditional tribal motifs, organic natural dye palettes, and authentic wear consistent with age and nomadic use.

Antique tribal textiles can be displayed by mounting them on neutral fabric backings for wall art or framing them behind UV-protective glass to highlight their graphic patterns.

Preservation requires keeping the textile out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, avoiding excessive moisture, and gently vacuuming with a mesh screen covering the nozzle.
