Kuwaiti Bedouin Goat Skin Storage Bag

901. Antique Kuwaiti Bedouin Goat Skin Storage Bag with Decorations around the neck. This piece was collected some 45 years ago while on a business trip to Kuwait. It was purchased in the main suk in Kuwait City at the time. The vendor was a Bedouin with a stall next to a small canal that had raw sewage running down the street. The smell was terrible, but the acquisition was worth it, as I have never seen a piece similar to it since then. The area around the neck is decorated with small pieces of metal which appear like beads and multi color cotton twine. The skin includes the belly button and the scrotal sacks.

Dimensions: 25” x 10”.

Condition: Excellent considering its age, which is estimated to be some 70-80 years old.
