10470 Afghan Baluch Small Rug 43x57cm (1.5 x 1.10½ft)

A small and quirky Hand-knotted nomadic Baluch from Herat environs of West Afghanistan. Tribal Baluch rugs come in many designs and styles however they often have richer colours such as reds and terracottas, blues, blacks and occasionally greens and other colours. This traditional Afghan rug measures approximately 43x57cm (1.5 x 1.10½ft) - we really like these little rugs especially the bright jades and blues in this one! Note: this piece has out of the usual whipped wrapped edges as show in the images - don't expect perfection with this lovely tribal rug.

These rugs are also known as Beluch, Balouch, Belouch, Baluchi, Belouchi.  The designs are geometric but sometimes the prayer niche (Mihrab) or tree of life design can be found.  A semi antique small authentic tribal rug woven on a simple wooden portable ground loom.  For more info on rug motifs and symbols look here.
