This Vintage Tribal Qashqai Double Bag Face Rug is a remarkable example of traditional nomadic craftsmanship from the Qashqai tribes. Originally used as a khorjin, or pair of saddlebags, it reflects the functional artistry of a mobile tribal lifestyle.The piece is composed of two mirrored rectangular panels joined by a plain flat-woven center section, designed to drape elegantly across a pack animal. Each face features a rich terracotta and madder-red field, the backdrop for a vibrant array of handwoven tribal motifs. The central focus of each panel is a stepped diamond medallion in shades of indigo and sky blue, framed by intricate corner elements that echo the medallion's geometry.The rug's jewel-tone palette, achieved with natural vegetable dyes, includes ivory highlights, saffron gold, orange, and forest green accents. These colors animate the hand-scattered motifs of geometric rosettes, stars, birds, and small animal figures, all woven freehand from memory, reflecting the weaver's connection to nature. This double bag face is both a collectible textile and a testament to the enduring artistic heritage of the Qashqai nomads. The item you're interested in is in good condition.
