A pretty vintage saddlebag woven with an undyed white wool background. The colours chosen for the weaving are bright and cheerful. e weaving is very fine and the thread thin, so the front part is complex. By contrast, the back side has been left very plain and simple, with just a few colourful dots. This saddlebag is in very good condition.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
Size: 90×46 cms
Origin: Qashqai tribe, Iran
Date of weaving: 1970s
Turkic-speaking pastoral nomadic tribal groups began entering central and southern Iran during the eleventh and twelfth centuries.The Qashqai, as a large tribal unit, dates back at least to the early eighteenth century, when some Turkish(Turki)-speaking tribal groups in the region existed under the name Qashqai.
Qashqai kilims are best known for their boldness and and freedom in the way the pattern is drawn. An aesthetically pleasing geometry, the fineness of their wool and their clear, strong colours combine to ensure their reputation as superlative examples.
