Description:
This vintage Baluch rug is a striking, soulful piece woven by nomadic artisans in western Afghanistan. Featuring a classic rust-red field with deep indigo and walnut-black geometric motifs, this rug embodies the tribal spirit of Baluch weaving. The narrow, repeating medallions and border work are symbolic of protection, continuity, and natural harmony.
The hand-spun wool and tightly knotted weave lend it both softness and durability, while its natural dyes give it earthy richness that will deepen with time. The close-up image reveals the fine abrash (color variation) and high-knot detail that can only be achieved through traditional methods and decades of inherited skill.
