Beloutsch

This Baluch bag from Afghanistan embodies the unique aesthetics of nomadic weaving traditions. The vivid red field is enlivened by geometric crosses in yellow and turquoise, evenly distributed across the surface. A finely drawn border frames the composition, lending balance and clarity. Originally woven for practical purposes, these bags were used by nomads to carry clothing, food, and household items. Hand-knotted in pure wool and retaining its original loops, this piece is both a functional artifact and a collectible that reflects the living culture and symbolic language of the Baluch people.
