antique vanitybag qashqa'i tribes fars province southwest persia

Description

I love the back as much as the front on this charming little 'chanteh' (vanity-bag) made by Qashqa'i tribes in Fars province, south-west Persia circa 1920s.
Diagonal bands of beautiful colours dominate the front, knotted-pile face of this chanteh with the main border, comprising small diamonds, possibly symbolising 'eyes' for protection, and running for approx 3cm up the back of the bag, for resilience. The back, in interlocking plain-weave, consists of a single blue triple-diamond, again, possibly representing an 'eye'! The bag is complete with lovely, glossy wool.
Size: 22 x 19cm (9" x 7").
Viewing by appointment only.
Internal Ref: BM2130

Height = 22 cm (9")
