This saddlebag, created by the Jaffi people around the 19th century, exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship and geometric artistry characteristic of nomadic cultures. The central design features a gridwork of repeating motifs, primarily cruciform shapes, woven in rich hues of red, blue, and brown. The intricate pattern and vibrant colors not only serve an aesthetic purpose but also hold cultural significance within the Jaffi community. The saddlebag's dimensions, 60 cm in height and 65 cm in width, are well-suited for its practical function.
