The front of the bag is woven in “Verne '' technique with the S-shaped larger design representing a dragon filled with backward z shaped forms. The back of the saddlebag is a flatwoven kilim with alternating red and yellow color bands. The verne technique is difficult and time consuming but results in a three dimensional looking pattern.
