Baluch saddle bags and Central Asian rugs at the Corfu Museum of Asian Art

09-17-2022, 06:32 PM

Hello Turkotekkies,

This a traveler's report of sorts:

Here is a detail of a chicken bag (its counterpart is published in Gary Wisdom's excellent book Baluch Tribal Weavings). It is currently, until October 2023, residing in the Palace of ST Michael and St George, Kerkyra, Corfu, Greece, also known as the Corfu Museum of Asian Art:

The bag face is part of a temporary exhibition adjoining the Jason Deighton-Sarzetakis collection Central Asian nomadic art:

Whenever you happen to be on Corfu, do look in, the Museum is fabulous!

Kind regards

Frank
