Description from the seller

Mafrash, in kelim weave, are specially made bags that these nomads used to transport their household goods and sometimes also as a cradle or, conversely, as shown photographed, as a bench to sit on.
Beautiful, vivid natural plant-based dyes used to color the wool.
This is authentic and made by these nomads for their own use.
You can make your own custom box to put over it and use it as seating.
Shahsevan nomads roamed with their livestock in the south of Azerbaijan and the north of Iran.
