Item Details

This authentic hand-knotted Afghan Baluch prayer rug is a superior example of nomadic tribal artistry. The somber, rich palette features deep mahogany reds and saturated navy blues, colors for which the Baluch weavers are traditionally known. The central field is dominated by a sharply pointed prayer niche (mihrab), filled with repeating geometric motifs. The borders showcase traditional tribal patterns, including the S-form and stylized floral designs. Noted for their phenomenal durability and lustrous wool, Baluch rugs are highly prized by collectors for their authentic, non-commercial aesthetic
