Description
The terracotta ground in each of these bags comprise a central cross surrounded by four stylised chickens, pecking at seeds on the ground. The rest of the terracotta field depicts tiny flower-heads and the main ivory border has a continuous vine with birds-heads.Just flown-in from Iran, the bags were sadly separated at some point in their lives although it can often be easier to display single bags as opposed to a double pair of saddle-bags.
In very good condition with original terracotta plain-weave back, these bags were made by the tribes within the Khamseh Confederacy during the early 20th century.
For sale individually or for the pair.
Sizes: 36 x 36cm (1' 2" x 1' 2") and 38 x 36cm (1' 3" x 1' 2").
Viewing by appointment only.
