Zaiane. Berber old saddle bag
Morocco
Lenght: 100 cm
Width: 35 cm
MA1099-245
An old saddle bag from the Zaiane that is a true gem. The Zaiane or Zaïane inhabit areas of the Middle Atlas mountain range in Morocco. Their textiles are well-known for their quality and design and the richness of their palette. This is an outstanding example. It combines naturally dyed hand-woven wool, showing the characteristic motifs of this group that reflect the vastness of Berber symbology, cotton fringes and silk tassels. Certainly a collectors' piece. It is would be madness to let it go. 1930's.
