ABOUT THIS PIECE
Khorjins or Saddle bags are unique pieces of art originally made for the transport of grains and goods over long distances using horses or other pack animals.
As saddlebags are made for personal or family use, they are viewed as an opportunity by the weavers to experiment with colours, construction methods and motifs resulting in unique eye-catching pieces, highly desired by collectors around the world.
Having been woven to carry heavy loads over long distances, Saddlebags feature robust and durable materials and construction in order to ensure longevity.
Woven in an improvised iteration of the Golfarang motif, depicting Rose bushes with various small differences and intricacies.
Golfarang or European flower is a motif created by the effects of 18th/19th-century European art on Persian carpets.
Saddlebags and Saddlebag faces are unique hardy textiles suitable for use as Wall or floor art in contemporary homes.
