Discover a rich piece of tribal history with this exceptional Late 19th Century Persian Luri Tribal Bagface, now beautifully repurposed as nomadic wall art. Hailing from the Fars province of western Persia, this textile was crafted by the Luri people, renowned for their distinctive weaving traditions.

This bagface, dating from the late 1800s, is in remarkably great condition, especially considering its original use as a vital component of a mafrash. A mafrash was a large carrying bag, akin to a duffel bag, meticulously made by tribes to transport their substantial household items during seasonal migrations between highland pastures and lowland camps. Its resilience and beauty are a testament to the robust craftsmanship required for a life of constant movement.

The bagface features large, bold designs and vibrant colors throughout both its body and border, creating a visually striking composition. These elements, combined with its historical narrative, make this a truly beautiful piece to be displayed on the wall. It's an ideal acquisition for discerning collectors, interior design professionals, and anyone seeking to infuse their space with authentic tribal art, rich cultural heritage, and a touch of nomadic spirit.
