Afshar spindle bag
Another well made and 'doubled-up' Afshar bag, this time in pile. A so-called 'spindle bag', its thin and vertical striped construction is basically the front of a khorjin that has been bent in half and sewn up on one side. Another smaller example, flatwoven, has been posted before. This one is also in great condition, with everything intact - including two buttons in one corner, the purpose of which is unclear to me. It measures 39 by 23 cms and was purchased from a dealer in Holland.
