How were these bags used?

Nomadic tribes utilised these woven containers inside tents and on animals for storing household goods, bedding, and personal items. They formed an essential part of daily domestic life. As tents were packed and moved during seasonal migrations, the durable construction protected belongings while adding decorative warmth to the dwelling.

How do I live with a bag face?

Bag faces and small fragments adapt easily to modern interiors as wall hangings, small table mats, or accent displays. Their dense wool construction provides natural durability for low-traffic placement. Keep them away from direct sunlight to protect the natural dyes, and support the textile properly if mounting it on a wall.

How do I tell tribal styles apart?

Tribal attribution relies on specific structural motifs, colour palettes, and knotting characteristics unique to groups like the Tekke, Yomut, and Qashqai. Each group employed distinct primary medallions and border arrangements. Examining the handling of the wool and the specific geometry of patterns helps pinpoint the weaving origin to particular regions in Persia or Turkmenistan.
