About the Item

This Mid-20th century Northwest Persian bag, measuring 1' 4" x 1' 4", is a charming example of tribal weaving that embodies both practicality and artistry. Crafted by nomadic or semi-nomadic weavers, bags like this were traditionally used for storing and transporting daily necessities, yet their aesthetic beauty reflects the cultural pride of their makers. The design features a bold central medallion in a warm terracotta tone, framed by deep indigo outlines that lend striking contrast. Stylized floral motifs and geometric blossoms accentuate the corners, adding balance and rhythm to the field. The borders are filled with alternating motifs in blue, ivory, and terracotta, creating a strong frame around the central design. Woven with a wool pile on a sturdy foundation, the texture is dense and tactile, emphasizing durability alongside beauty. With its vibrant colors and folk-inspired motifs, this Persian bag represents the perfect fusion of utility and decorative expression found in Northwest tribal weaving traditions.
