What is a khorjin used for?

Nomadic tribes utilised these double-sided bags loaded across pack animals to transport personal belongings, grain, and household goods during seasonal migrations. Today, collectors repurpose surviving bag faces as small wall hangings, table mats, or small floor cushions within domestic interiors.

How do I identify a bagface?

A bagface displays the finished pictorial or geometric weaving from the front of the original saddlebag, often showing cut or finished edges where the connecting web was removed. These panels concentrate the finest tribal patterns into a compact square or rectangular format designed to be viewed from the front.

Are natural dyes used in these?

Traditional Persian nomadic weaving from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries relied primarily on natural dye sources extracted from local plants and minerals. These colourants yield subtle variations across the wool surface that mature with exposure to light and handling over decades.

How do I care for a tribal bag?

Gentle surface cleaning and regular light vacuuming without a rotating brush help maintain the integrity of the hand-spun wool pile. Keep these textiles away from direct sunlight and damp environments to preserve the natural dyes and fibres.
