About the Item

This Early 20th century Persian Afshar bag, measuring 1'10" x 2'10", is a striking example of tribal weaving that beautifully blends utility with artistry. Woven by Afshar nomads, this piece demonstrates their masterful sense of color and bold geometric design. The field is dominated by a large central diamond medallion filled with intricate latch-hook motifs and surrounded by smaller nested lozenges, each brimming with tribal symbolism. The midnight blue ground creates a dramatic contrast with the vibrant terracotta, ivory, and soft celadon tones, bringing depth and vibrancy to the design. A robust main border in warm red frames the piece, decorated with stylized rosettes and geometric blossoms, reflecting the Afshar love for balanced yet lively ornamentation. Originally created as a functional storage bag, its woven face stands today as a testament to the Afshar’s creative spirit, tribal heritage, and enduring weaving traditions that connect beauty with everyday life.
