The Tribal Caucasian Mafrash - 19"H x 19"D x 40"L is a remarkable piece of nomadic craftsmanship from eastern Turkey, northwestern Persia, and the Caucasus. This three-dimensional rectangular "boxy" bag was traditionally used by nomadic tribes to store bedding in their tents and for transporting goods during their migrations. Made in pairs, the Mafrash bags were designed to be balanced over the backs of camels, making them an essential part of nomadic life.

With a size of 19"H x 19"D x 40"L, this Tribal Caucasian Mafrash showcases both functional design and the artistic flair of the region’s traditional weavers. It serves as a beautiful reminder of the practical artistry that defined the tribal lifestyle.
