Mafrash

This piece of jewelry is inspired by ornaments woven into mafrash in the early 20th century. A mafrash is a suitcase-like carpet product. The migratory lifestyle of part of the population significantly influenced the Azerbaijani nation’s ethnographic characteristics. This way of life necessitated the use of compact, rug-like bags, especially mafrash bags, for transporting loads with animals. Mafrash bags also served in households for storing various utensils.
