A bag face is the decorative front panel of a nomadic utility pouch that survived after the plain wool backing deteriorated or was removed. These panels were preserved as independent textile artworks because of their intricate geometric designs and rich natural colouring.

How were these bags used?

Nomadic tribes utilised these containers for storing household goods, clothing, and bedding inside tents or during animal transport. Saddle versions draped across horses and camels, serving practical transport functions while displaying tribal identity and status.

How do I identify tribal groups?

Tribal attribution relies on specific structural formats, wool quality, and characteristic geometric motifs such as specific guls. For instance, Yomut and Tekke weavers deployed distinct border arrangements and medallion structures that separate them from Persian Kurdish or Shahsavan pieces.

How should I display a bag face?

These textile panels mount securely onto stretched linen or display flat behind protective framing materials. Keeping them away from direct sunlight preserves the natural wool dyes and maintains the structural integrity of the weave.
