Large Antique Turkomen Saddle Bags (Pair)

About the Item

These hard-to-find large saddle bags, which were used by Salor Turkomen nomadic tribes can serve as stuffed and comfortable cushions, to form a bottom and back unit, or are entirely sturdy enough to be used as rugs. The back of each is in a heavy canvas material. These are authentic tribal artefacts and the detailed pattern language reveals an increasingly rare item from the last quarter 19th century.
