Saddlebags-RUG HEYBE
Saddlebags were woven with two decorated pouches.These were made in various
sizes, with the smallest examples used on donkeys. They were called HEYBE in
Anatolia and they appear in a wide variety of woven structures: tapestry, soumak,
brocading, knotted pile, weft substitution, and even occasionally warp substitution.
In western Anatolian Turkey, saddlebags were commonly made with a long center
bridge with a slit down the center (below). Men sometimes slipped these over their
heads to serve as convenient shopping bags when in the marketplace.
