The Baloch or Baluch are an Iranian people who live mainly in the Balochistan region, located at the southeasternmost edge of the Iranian plateau, encompassing the countries of Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan. There are also Baloch diaspora communities in neighbouring regions, including in India, Turkmenistan and the Arabian Peninsula.
The composition of this vintage rug from the Baluch tribe is most unexpected. Two large flowering trees preside over the carpet that also has buildings, shrubs or small trees woven in a more schematic way, paths, two nomadic yurts, and even a couple of cars! The background of the rug is natural undyed camel wool.
