A 1950s Kohistan Baluch rug that combines skilfully the abstract motifs with the figurative shapes. As can be seen in the rug, the upper and lower part of the field has a design in the form of a tiled roof. The little niches throught the rug, represent some kind of architectural construction, perhaps a mosque since some minarets can be appreciated. It could also be a traditional Persian garden type, since water channels and plants are also woven.
The border is very different in style to the central field of the rug. Little flowers run vertically. We have occasionally come across this unusual design in some Kohistan Baluch rugs.
This rug skilfully combines natural wool colour with dyed wool, creating an harmonious all.
Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool
