About the Item
This Mid-20th century Persian Kurdish bag face, measuring 1' 0" x 2' 2", is a striking example of Kurdish tribal weaving artistry. The piece features a compact yet dynamic design, showcasing a central medallion with geometric motifs rendered in rich, saturated tones of deep indigo, brick red, ivory, and touches of green. Surrounding the medallion is a bold field framed by multiple guard stripes, each filled with alternating floral and geometric symbols that echo traditional Kurdish iconography.
The borders are particularly notable, with repeating stylized rosettes and hooked devices that create a rhythmic flow around the composition. The striped flatwoven back contrasts with the knotted pile front, demonstrating the dual functionality and versatility of such tribal bags, which were originally crafted for everyday use in nomadic life while still reflecting artistic and cultural identity.
This piece embodies the Kurdish weavers’ balance of utility and aesthetics, combining practical craftsmanship with a vibrant and deeply rooted artistic tradition.
