The Caucasian Tribal Mafrash - 17"H x 17"D x 38"L is a traditional three-dimensional rectangular "boxy" bag made by nomads in eastern Turkey, northwestern Persia, and the Caucasus. These Mafrash bags were historically used for storing bedding in tents and served as cargo bags for transporting goods during migration. Typically made in pairs, they were designed to be balanced over the backs of camels, making them practical for nomadic life.

With a size of 17"H x 17"D x 38"L, this Caucasian Tribal Mafrash combines nomadic functionality with tribal artistry, reflecting the cultural heritage and practical needs of the people who created them.
