TT600 Afghan Baluch Carpet Saddlebag 65x137cm

Vintage tribal Afghan Baluchi carpet weave saddlebag from Afghanistan. Originally used for storage and also during tribal migration, however today they make great storage pouches either over a chair or on the wall, they also make lovely wall hangings. This Afghan saddlebag measures approximately 65x137cm (2.1½ x 4.6ft) excluding any tassels - we love the warm deep colours and soft wool in this one together with the stripe design on the reverse. Saddlebags feature two kilim or carpet pouches and can vary in size from small to 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!
