Bag late 19th-early 20th century

This small bag, crafted anonymously, showcases powerful geometric symbols intricately embroidered. Notice the triangle border, its points perhaps echoing ancient protective symbols found across many cultures. The central motif—a stylized, swirling design repeated across the bag's surface—resembles a rosette. One sees echoes of the rosette in ancient Minoan frescoes or even much later in Renaissance patterns. This design has been seen as representative of divine authority in ancient cultures but also representing cyclical patterns like the sun and seasons. These forms, passed down through generations, trigger a deep, subconscious response. Like the restless spirit of history, the rosette and triangle motif have resurfaced, evolved, and taken on new meanings across time and geography.
