A mid-century Baluchi tribal saddle bag from the rugged northern borders, preserved in its original found condition.
This piece is exceptionally rare because both hand-knotted panels remain perfectly intact, connected by their original flat-woven bridge—a element almost always severed when these utilitarian textiles enter the commercial trade. The geometric medallion pattern is rendered in a deep palette of indigo, oxidized iron, and camel wool, bearing the unmistakable patina and softening of a textile that was woven for a life on the move. Beautiful as a rich wall hanging or an architectural floor accent.
Dimensions: 19” x 36.5”
Material: Hand-spun local wool
Origin: Northern Pakistan / Border regions
Age: Estimated early-to-mid 20th century
Condition: Original antique condition with historic character.

Due to the antique and utilitarian nature of nomadic tribal artifacts, pieces of this preservation caliber are acquired entirely by chance. While this exact specimen cannot be replicated, we continuously source authentic mid-century Baluchi and regional textile fragments through our border networks.
