Back
Turkish heybe or small double bag with a long slot in the bridge area to put the head through so it can be worn hanging over the shoulders with the bags front and back. Overall it is 44“ x 15” (112 cm x 38 cm) –each face about 14” x 15” (36 cm x 38 cm), but one slightly larger than the other. Relatively coarse weave, made for durability and hard use. Bag faces with designs in extra-weft techniques, weft-float and weft wrapping. Closure panels intact but with some wear and small domestic repairs. Braided closure loops mostly intact, some missing. Crude domestic repair in one face, two repairs in brown plainweave backs. Clearly the repairs were done for functional rather than aesthetic reasons. Colors natural, stable, --include a brownish purple that is a good purple in some places.
