This traditional Afghan saddle bag showcases the geometric artistry that nomadic weavers have perfected over centuries. The intricate diamond and hexagonal motifs create a rhythmic pattern across the wool field, while the rich interplay of deep reds, navy blues, and ivory creates visual depth. Each geometric element is precisely rendered, demonstrating the weaver's skill in balancing bold colors with traditional tribal designs. The compact rectangular format retains the authentic proportions of functional saddlebags once used by traveling families.

Handcrafted in Afghanistan using time-honored techniques, this piece represents the enduring craft traditions of nomadic communities. The foundation and pile are constructed from durable wool, likely sourced from the highland pastures that produce Afghanistan's prized Ghazni wool. Hand-knotted construction ensures each geometric motif is securely anchored, creating a piece built to withstand decades of use while maintaining its vibrant character.

At 1' 1" x 2' 5", this saddle bag works beautifully as an accent piece in intimate settings or layered with larger oriental rugs in spacious rooms. The compact size suits entryways, beside seating areas, or as part of a 3 x 5 collection arrangement. Sourced directly by ALRUG from Afghanistan weavers since 2002, free worldwide shipping.
