About the Item
This Mid-20th century Persian Afshar tribal bag, measuring 1' 2" x 1' 5", reflects the highly artistic and symbolic weaving traditions of nomadic Afshar tribes from southeastern Persia. Known for their utilitarian yet decorative woven bags, the Afshar produced pieces that served both practical and cultural roles, often used for carrying household goods or provisions while traveling.
The front of this bag features a bold lattice of diamond-shaped medallions, each filled with intricate geometric motifs that evoke both symmetry and rhythm. The alternating palette of terracotta, ivory, and deep indigo creates a striking interplay of light and dark, while the use of natural dyes lends warmth and depth to the design. A complementary border of smaller diamonds frames the composition, reinforcing the central geometry and emphasizing balance.
Afshar tribal bags such as this one stand out as functional art, showcasing the weavers’ ability to combine abstract geometry with deeply rooted cultural expression.
