Baluch Saddle Bag - 1'10 x 4'3

A richly textured saddle bag from Afghanistan with silky wool, woven in a dark, atmospheric palette of deep brown, black, aubergine, red, and indigo tones. The design is arranged in vertical bands with small geometric motifs, zigzag borders, diamond forms, and subtle embroidered details. The piece retains its original saddle bag structure, including joined bag faces, woven straps, tassels, and decorative elements of cowrie shells and glass beads. The use of goat hair and dark wool gives the textile a rugged, tactile surface with strong tribal character. Both functional and decorative, this Baluch saddle bag has a moody graphic presence and works beautifully as a wall hanging, layered textile, or collectible nomadic weaving.
