Balochi Jowal

This exquisite nomadic Jowal, dating back to the 1950s, served as a versatile carrier for nomadic communities. Jowalis are distinguished from Khorjins by their larger, vertical rectangular shape. Unlike the mostly square-shaped Khorjins, Jowals come with handles on each side and are often woven in pairs. These intricately woven containers hold significant importance for nomads, as they use them to transport their belongings while migrating and securing them onto the backs of animals.
