On the Design:

Admirers of the craft may appreciate design elements inherent to the Mashwani tribe in this piece. Mashwani Baluch rugs and Kilims are often recognized for remarkably tight weaving and delicious, saturated colors like those at play here. This flatweave enjoys rich red, blue tones and vibrant accent play in both field and border alike.

It’s a comfortable, personal piece, exemplary of primitivist, old-world patterns and the devoted tribal weavers who recapture their beauty. See less
