The geometric composition, typical of the textile tradition of the Baluch people of the area between eastern Iran, western Afghanistan, and Pakistan, gives the piece a strong decorative presence and refined chromatic balance.

The palette features warm hues of brick red, ivory, terracotta, petrol blue, and dark brown, traditionally achieved with natural dyes. Multiple borders with repeating geometric motifs harmoniously frame the central field, emphasizing the rug's authentic character and artisanal quality.

Thanks to its elongated proportions, this piece is perfect for decorating living rooms, studies, bedrooms, entryways, or spaces with a boho, ethnic, rustic, or contemporary feel, adding warmth, history, and personality to any space.

A piece of great decorative charm that testifies to the ancient tradition of Central Asian tribal knotting.
