About the Item

Tacheh are saddle bags employed by the people of the Bakhtiari tribe. These are woven in wool by means of different techniques, which include interlock tapestry, dovetailing, weft float brocading and knotted pile. They were principally used for the storage and transport of wheat. Early examples, such as this one, are used both as scatter rugs as well as hangings. Here, the skilled weaver punctuates both the front as well as the back panels with tiny splinters of flame, obtained through careful touches of eccentric wefting. The knotted pile bridge section is particularly elaborated, being composed of an ivory/brown chequerboard pattern surmounted by a polychrome arrowhead motif. A true work of tribal textile art. This piece is published in our online exhibition entitled 'From Eurasia with Love - Antique Tribal Textile Art from Persia and the Transcaucasus'.
