A khorjin is a traditional double saddlebag woven by nomadic tribes for animal transport during seasonal migrations. These textile containers served practical storage functions before surviving as decorative pieces of tribal art.

How were saddlebags used?

Nomads loaded these paired bags onto horses, camels, or donkeys to carry personal belongings, bedding, and provisions. When camp was set up, the bags doubled as storage chests inside tents or portable dwellings.

How do I live with a bag face?

Bag faces adapt easily to modern interiors as small floor rugs, table mats, or wall hangings. Their compact scale allows them to fit into hallways, studies, or intimate spaces where larger carpets will not work.

How do I identify different tribes?

Tribal attribution relies on specific structural traits, colour combinations, and repeating geometric motifs. Qashqai, Afshar, and Shahsavan weavers each employed distinct palettes and structural methods that signal their origin.
