Kurdish Baby Carrier. Anatolia. Circa 1900. 70 X 50 X 50 Cm
Rare object belonging to the family of everyday objects used by the nomadic populations of Anatolia. More precisely, the Kurdish peoples of Turkey's far east.
Hand-woven wool on wool.
Extremely fine and regular weave, the object had to be sturdy and secure to carry a baby on its back. It was women who used this type of object. Worn this way, they were free to move around...
Long bangs had two functions. Decorative, of course, but they were also used to warm the little child and sometimes to protect it from insects...Once again, we see through this object all the intelligence of this craft in its functionality.
Exclusively vegetal colors, deep blue and red, dense, saturated and luminous.
Circa 1900.
Dim : 70 x 50 x 50 cm
