I've seen beaded edge trimming on Central Asian bags, sometimes attributed to the Belouch. The silver recalls some Afghan/Turkoman amulet cases, but it is only reminiscent, not identical. The fabric again recalls some Afghan textiles I've seen, but again, there is not, to my eye, a congruence, merely an approximation.

Still, overall impression would put it on the Silk Road between western China and the Caspian. Not very specific, I'm afraid, but better to err on the side of too broad rather than too narrow.
