Description
This is a beautiful late 19th century Kurdish Jaf bag face, that has been carefully sewn onto a hessian wrapped wooden frame, which can be hung on a wall. A really wonderful way to use these amazing antique bag faces as art for the wall. The size of the frame is 58 cm high x 66 cm wide, and the size of the Jaf bag is 50 cm high by 56 cm wide.
Woven by the Jaf tribe in Kurdistan, these tribal bags would have originally been used as storage bags, and would have had a kilim backing which usually gets worn away from this wool piled front of the bag. Over 130 years old the dyes on these bags are still vibrant, being natural dyes, and there is corrosion to the diagonal black/brown dye which runs between the diamond shapes. As this black/brown colour had lots of iron properties in the wool and as it has corroded over 100 plus years it leaves an embossed effect with the wool diamonds. The pale blue dyes, reds and greens are really lovely and this bag face is in excellent condition with no damage. As the bag face has been carefully sewn onto the frame it can be removed at any point too.
Purchase this wonderful mounted antique Jaf bag face via our secure checkout and we can safely wrap it and courier it to your home. Or please book in a home visit or showroom visit to see this wonderful wall hanging up close.

Kurdish weavers were mainly woman who adapted and experimented with neighbouring weaving designs and used them in their own rugs, carpets and storage bags. Nomadic rugs of the Kurds of Azerbaijan and the Caucasus used often primitive designs, whereas the the Kurdish Northwest Persia weavers used Caucasian designs of Kazak and Karabagh such as the diagonally striped field or bold geometric motifs.
