Mafrash – Bedding Bag
This is the Arabic word for a flat woven bag in the form of a box, used to contain bedding. Mafrash are not cradles nor are they used as such. Most mafrash are made in pairs, though not connected and have two sides and a bottom woven in one piece with ends added. The bottom is usually a striped plain weave and measures about three feet long by a foot high. Mafrash are similar to saddlebag faces but only have a top and bottom border while saddlebags have a border completely surrounding the faces.
