Greetings all,
It's been quite a while since we looked at salt bags here, so I'll show you this mixed-technique bag that we acquired many years ago. The flatweave and brocade are classic Bakhtiari work; the pile edge on the bottom is a feature also seen in some Kurdish work.
Regards
Chuck
Front:
Back, with the bright indigo blue that makes Bakhtiari work special:
There is a nice green as well, not so easy to see from a distance:
The finish selvage is goat hair:
The piled section at the bottom:
Symmetrical knotting for the pile:
The sides have multicolord bands of selvage which are then covered over with the goat hair, securing front to back:
