AN AFSHAR SMALL SINGLE BAG/PURSE, SOUTH PERSIA, LATE 19TH CENTURY LITERATURE: 3rd ed., 2004, pp. 62-63 “An unusual piece, in that a cord has been attached to the one-sided neck to allow a wrap-around method of closure. A related piece (No. 97 in Afshar, Tribal Weavings for Southeast Iran by Parviz Tanavoli, 2010, MATN Institute for Authorship, Iranian Academy of Arts) has been identified as a Tobacco bag (tutundan) or sowing bag (suzandan) . Like the present piece, the neck is not backed and can be folded over to prevent spillage.” (Benjamin, op.cit., p. 62)
