Story

This is a complete and single 'bird' bag from the wandering Baluchis. Unlike others that are merely bag-faces, this is a complete bag with its intact kilim woven back side. In addition it is not one of a pair of bag-faces from a double Khorjin saddle bag but a single bag in its own right. The upper end or mouth is woven in Sumakh stitch flat-weave and does not connect to a symmetrical flap. This bag would have been filled and placed on the ground of the tent as is, much like a Turkmen Chuval.

Aesthetically, we see 7 peacocks in total. The central one, silhouetted in bright red, faces the exact opposite way of the other 6 which are outlined in calm aubergine purple. A unique tribal artifact by all means,

“I practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
