On the design:

Admirers of the craft may appreciate design elements inherent to the Afghan tribal design in this piece. This piece enjoys rich burgundy red, navy blue and beige/brown tones in the field. The design features elegant stripes and geometric patterns all over the field, making it a quintessential work of this line, exemplary of their comfortable presence and simple beauty made of intricate craft.

Keen eyes may further admire a mild textural detail in the pile, almost like a subdued high-and-low element in the pile, and a subtle sense of dimension therein that still plays so naturally with the movement and richness that underscores this piece. It’s a comfortable, personal piece, exemplary of primitivist, old-world patterns and the devoted tribal weavers who recapture their beauty. See less
