TT561 Afghan Baluch Small Saddlebag 31x72cm

Small Tribal Afghan Baluchi kilim saddlebag from Afghanistan with bold bright colours and intricate weaving. Originally used for storage and also during tribal migration, however today they make great storage either over a chair or on the wall. They also make lovely wall hangings. This small kilim Afghan saddlebag measures approximately 31x72cm excluding tassels - we love the small size and intricate weave in this colourful saddlebag. The bright colours are woven mostly in cotton which gives a completely different look to that of something woven in all wool - cotton stays bright and doesn't fade down over time so that's why this saddlebag is so bright!  Find out more about Rug Motifs, Symbols & Meaning here.

Saddlebags feature two kilim or carpet pouches and can vary in size from small like this one to very large sizes - the large sizes would be the ones used over animals for transporting items. This tribal group from Afghanistan are also known as Beluch, Balouch, Belouch, Baluchi, Belouchi to name a few!
