Antique Afghan Baluch Nomadic Salt Bag – Handwoven Kelim Carpet

Antique Afghan Nomadic Baluch Salt Bag – Handwoven Sumakh Wool

This rare and collectible Baluch salt bag is a stunning example of traditional Afghan nomadic craftsmanship. Woven and knotted using the intricate Sumakh technique, it was originally designed by Baluch tribes to store and transport salt. The finely handcrafted details and rich natural wool texture make it a true piece of art.

While photos capture its striking design, they cannot convey the exceptional tactile quality of this piece. Thanks to our specialized restoration process—using chemical-free washing and low-lime water—the fabric achieves an extraordinary softness. The luxurious feel is best described as akin to silk and satin.
