The abrash and gentle age-related wear further enhance its character, offering a soft patina that speaks to its history and use.Framing the field are narrow geometric borders and banded stripes, which provide structure while complementing the central motifs. The presence of braided tassels and fringe details adds to its rustic charm, reinforcing its identity as a functional object transformed into decorative art. This piece stands as a testament to the ingenuity of nomadic artisans, where practicality meets artistry, offering a rare glimpse into early 20th-century tribal life and weaving traditions.Condition: This Vintage Saddle Bag is in good condition for its age and origin, and is ready for the floor.

Such pieces were historically used by tribal communities in daily life, making this a collectible work of both folk art and functional design.On the Design:This piece is a masterclass in the intimate scale and expressive geometry of nomadic weaving.

The palette is a warm, earthy symphony of terracotta red, camel brown, and sand-beige, punctuated by crisp ivory and black outlines. The natural abrash and soft patina reflect the use of traditional dyes and decades of history, while the braided loops and colorful fringe details at the edges reinforce its rustic charm. It is a piece where practicality meets high artistry, offering a rare, tactile glimpse into a vanished way of life.Condition: This Vintage Saddle Bag is in good condition for its age and origin, and is ready for the floor
