2'2 x 8' Handwoven Mixed Technique Afghan Mashwani Carpet Runner

Item Details

This authentic Afghan Mashwani rug is a masterwork of tribal textile art, employing a complex ‘mixed-technique’ construction that integrates both hand-knotted pile and flat-woven kilim sections. This dual-texture method, often referred to as Berjesta, creates a unique three-dimensional surface that emphasizes the geometric diamond motifs characteristic of the Mashwani nomadic tribes. Rendered in a traditional palette of saturated madder reds and midnight blues, the rug features intricate latch-hook borders and symbolic tribal elements. Woven entirely of hand-spun wool on a wool foundation, this piece represents a bridge between functional floor covering and heirloom tribal history.
