Kazak Bagface 1180

A striking and rare example of Caucasian tribal weaving, this 19th-century Kazak bagface features a dynamic freestyle squares pattern in rich tones of blue, brown, and red. Likely woven in the late 1800s, this compact textile may have originally served as a bagface—the decorated front of a tribal storage bag—or possibly as a small personal prayer rug.

The geometric pattern, bold color palette, and improvisational layout showcase the authenticity and spontaneity of traditional Caucasian design. Its small size and strong visual presence make it ideal as textile wall art or a collectible centerpiece for display.

Pieces like this embody the cultural identity and nomadic lifestyle of the Caucasus tribes, where functionality and artistry are seamlessly integrated. Now highly sought-after by collectors and designers alike, it stands as a timeless piece of woven history.
