Double animal bag sets, known as khorjin in Persian, were critical accoutrement for the village and tribal peoples of the Near East. Many were made as dowry objects and a tremendous sense of pride and care was put into their weaving. This set comes from western Persia. An abstract pattern, perhaps derived from vegetal tendrils, scrolls across a medium blue ground in colorful diagonals. Likewise, the looped fastening system is colorfully articulated imbuing an extra sense of beauty and charm to this very functional utilitarian object.
Purchased from Peter Pap c. 1990
