2'10 x 4'8 Hand-Knotted Afghan Baluch Accent Rug

Item Details

This contemporary hand-knotted Afghan Baluch rug showcases a sophisticated interpretation of the traditional ‘Tree of Life’ motif. Set against a deep midnight blue field, the composition features four distinct rows of stylized floral and arboreal symbols, rendered in a warm palette of terracotta, sage green, tan, and cream. The lower register includes unique geometric anthropomorphic figures, a hallmark of Baluch tribal storytelling. The rug is framed by a series of narrow borders, including a repeating geometric chain and a classic ‘sawtooth’ guard band. Hand-woven with locally sourced wool, this piece exhibits the dense, lustrous pile and rugged durability for which Afghan tribal textiles are renowned. Measuring almost 3′ × 5′, it is an ideal size for an entryway or bedside accent.
