About the Item
A truly spectacular and complete, opened tacheh weaving from the proto-Iranic Bakhtiari tribe. Tachehs are large saddlebags used for the storage and transport of wheat. These are almost always found opened and quite often cut into two sections. This complete example allows us to appreciate the various techniques involved in the construction of these containers, which include interlock tapestry, dovetailing, weft float brocading and knotted pile. One wonders why they would put so much attention to exquisite details when weaving such utilitarian objects. The visual landscape offered here is strongly reminiscent of the Manhattan skyline, which is the reason why, a few years back, it was published in colour in the Arts section of the New York Times in a review of the Antique Tribal and Textile Arts show.
Both a stunning wall hanging as well as a perfect runner rug, this tribal gem displays the flame-like motifs which characterise the iconography at the root of the Zoroastrian tradition of the pre-Islamic people of Eurasia.
