Handmade Herat Oriental Afghan Tribal Balouchi Navy/ Gold Wool Rug (Afghanistan) – 3’8 x 6’11

Description

This rug is a unique piece of world art that will enhance your living space. Afghan Balouchi rugs are made in the villages of Zakini, Tiamani, and Kowdani, which are located in the province of Herat, Afghanistan.The village weavers are led by Yamin. As a result of the past 30 years of war and foreign invasion of Afghanistan, most of the weavers in the villages have moved to the cities and are no longer weaving rugs. Therefore, you rarely see a newly woven Balouchi rug in the market but this particular rug was made by the weavers in the villages of Herat. They were woven in a very primitive way on flat wooden looms that lay on the ground, with 100 percent wool from their own sheep. All of the washing and the natural vegetable dying of the wool is done in their villages. The knot count per square inch for this rug is 200. The pile height is 0.5 inches. The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected.
