Description

View Hand Made Antique 22” x 34" Turkmen Double Saddle Bag Khorjin with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. Woven by nomadic Turkmen tribes in Central Asia, these textiles serve as highly functional, utilitarian storage bags designed to drape over the backs of pack animals like horses, donkeys, or camels. The Face: The two identical rectangular faces features a hand-knotted, dense wool pile decorated with traditional geometric tribal medallions and complex layered borders. The Center Panel: The flat-woven ivory/cream center strip functions as a bridge that rests across the animal's spine. The Slit & Fasteners: The horizontal central opening or slit allows the piece to comfortably fit over parts of a saddle or a camel's hump. The intricate braided cords and perimeter loop systems are used to securely lock the bag closures or fasten the pack together during travel. Decorative Accents: Multi-colored yarn tassels or fringes trim the edges, adding signature tribal styling. Condition: Pre-owned. Category: Antiques › Rugs & Carpets. Brand: Handmade.
