Salt Bag - Baktiari, Persia W 0 - 75 Very fine CicimSalt Bag Baktiari, Persia Wool with cotton highlights. Typical drama of Baktiari weavers. Diamond shapes such as we see here symbolise fertility in many tribal weavings. When a failed crop or a barren sheep could spell disaster, such expressions of hope are deeply understandable. Salt bags were used by shepherds to carry salt for their sheep when out grazing. They are intricate and powerfully artistic expressions by the weaver, usually women. (G137)In
