Item Details
A hand-knotted Baluch prayer rug. This rug is rendered in a palette of deep red, camel, and deep midnight blue, with signature Baluchi ivory highlights. It features nested mihrab areas, with a central mihrab over a camel-colored field. The field contains curvilinear scrollwork down the center, flanked by hooks, geometric guls, and tribal motifs, which are repeated in hand panels at the top of the rug. Edges are overcast. The rug finishes at each end with kilim skirts, featuring horizontal strips that include running water patterns; each end has tan wool warp fringe. The rug is unmarked.
