Abstract: (1021 Views)

Nomadic hands-woven are the most important manifestation of indigenous and tribal art. This is representing a set of social and cultural characteristics of nomadic life. In the Qashqai tribe, storage bags are one of the practical products of the women of the tribe. The production of many practical fabrics has become obsolete due to the change in the life structure of tribe, the settlement of nomads, the migration of a large number of nomads to rural and urban areas, the replacement of cheap goods in accordance with the needs of life. The purpose of this study is to identify the structural and functional characteristics of this type of hands-woven in the Qashqai tribe and to study these products based on the anthropology of art. The data collection of this research is based on field research and library study. The research finding is presented by descriptive-analytical method. Storage weavings in various sizes were chosen as indicators in accordance with the needs of nomadic life. Women artists and the choice of weaving technique of hand-woven fabrics are defined in accordance with their function. The index is a strong sign of the artist’s creative performance and expresses the artist’s agency and the headline expresses the artist’s position. As an indicator, these hands-woven play a central role, which is also the heritage of the tribal community and a factor for the continuation of the weaving style process that has remained to this day.
