What is a khorjin used for?

Nomadic groups utilised these double-sided bags slung over pack animals to carry household goods, grain, and personal belongings during seasonal migrations. Today, collectors preserve complete bags or display individual bag faces as wall hangings and small decorative floor rugs.

How do I identify different tribal styles?

Tribal attribution relies on specific colour palettes, wool qualities, and structural motifs unique to each confederation. Afshar pieces often show boteh designs and deep blues, while Shahsavan work frequently employs crisp sumac weave and geometric lattice patterns.

Are these pieces made with natural dyes?

The pieces from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries utilise organic dyes derived from plants, roots, and insects. These natural colours interact with hand-spun wool to create subtle tone variations known as abrash across the field.

How should I care for a tribal bag face?

Gentle surface vacuuming without a beater bar removes dust and keeps the wool pile clean. Professional textile conservation and specialist rug cleaning are recommended for deeper maintenance to protect natural fibres.
