Vintage Hand Knotted Anatolian Geometric Woven Bag - Turkey

Description
This vintage hand knotted Anatolian woven bag from Turkey features a structured arrangement of horizontal bands and geometric motifs, produced using traditional techniques and natural fibers. Measuring 318 × 81 cm, the elongated format corresponds to a large utilitarian bag intended for storage or transport rather than decorative interior use. The primary face is composed of alternating stripes in deep red, muted ochre, soft grey, and undyed wool tones, articulated with diamond and stepped motifs typical of rural Anatolian design language. The composition relies on repetition and symmetry, reflecting functional priorities over pictorial depth. Subtle irregularities in knotting and tonal variation attest to its handmade origin and prolonged use. The reverse is plain and robust, consistent with bag construction, emphasizing durability while allowing the patterned surface to remain visually prominent.
