3'1 x 5'5 Hand-Knotted Afghan Baluch Prayer Rug
Item Details
This authentic hand-knotted Afghan Baluch prayer rug is a superb example of nomadic textile art. Known for their deep, moody palettes, this piece features a rich mahogany and midnight blue field surrounding a distinctive tan Mihrab. The central prayer field is dominated by a vertical ‘Tree of Life’ or stylized plant motif, a common spiritual archetype in Baluch weaving. Constructed with high-quality hand-spun wool, the rug displays a natural luster and a dense, soft handle. The multi-tiered geometric borders include classic ‘S’ protective motifs and repeating floral devices. This highly portable and spiritually symbolic textile is ideal for use as a wall hanging or an accent floor piece.
