This striking tent-pole storage bag originates from southern Uzbekistan and dates to the mid-20th century, specifically 1960–1975. Measuring approximately 42 inches by 19 inches (107 cm x 48 cm), this elongated textile is in very good condition. It is a functional piece of nomadic material culture, crafted with dense cotton embroidery on a sturdy cotton base, designed to withstand the rigors of travel.
The composition is defined by three large, graphic geometric medallions arranged vertically down the central axis. The top and bottom medallions are set against a deep madder-red ground, while the central medallion features a contrasting cream background. Each medallion contains a complex, four-way symmetrical "cross" motif with stepped, maze-like borders in black, white, and ochre. The side panels are decorated with vertical bands of geometric latch-hook and "running dog" motifs in a diverse palette of teal, violet, and green. The top and bottom horizontal borders feature stylized floral sprigs, providing a softer, organic counterpoint to the rigid geometry of the central field.
