Beloutsch

A highly unusual and most attractive nomadic rug knotted by a long-renowned Baluch tribe who pasture their herds in the remote high value in the north of Afghanistan. Of particular note is the focal design of mihrab delineated in a radiating scheme of concentric latch-hook ribbons, a composition usually associated with the Baluch and here, most probably, the result of tribal intermarriage. The beautifully muted palette and naturally lustrous pile wool characteristic of the Belouch rug group give the design its memorable individuality. In mint condition.
